The Judge
By which standard do I judge another man?
Can I know their truths, their lies, their plans?
To list their thoughts, their deeds, their sins
How could I know where to begin?
To know their pain, their wrath, their guilt
What will I weigh? Which scales to tilt?
To gauge their soul, their mind, their heart
What do I measure? Where shall I start?
Can I bear the weight, the burden, the thought?
Will I choose to judge, or will I choose not?
