The Bulldog Responds To Her Critics
Judgement
certainty wed to criticism
forces, prunes and narrows your sight
your attitudes, insights, actions, values all follow
dwindling down into ever smaller focus
a blind unfeeling faith I call
Predjudice
We I
imperfect beings all, do quite enough
should never long forget self-evaluating, Thanks.
how each of us must begin no need for further unhelpful
as someone else's nonsensical input
all untested now from
"They". You
Know
thyself full well before
thou casts those petty stones
from out thy house of sullied glass;
consult thy mirror closely -
does it reflect
Ignorance?
