They Stand and Judge Us

With hearts, cold as ice covered gravel,
          We embarass poets, with our moralistic gavel.

          What must the Lord think of us?
          As over their lives we make a judicial fuss!

          Tis not in the human domain to be a judge.
          Tis God’s alone, some souls made of sludge.

          God forgave Mary Magdelyn, would you?
          Do you have enough love, to forgive, too?

          To embarass a fellow poet in open post?
          Is proof you have no heart, you, a cruel ghost.

Great point! ... Interesting that in the courts of Ancient Israel, no courts existed where one man alone judged. The minimum number of judges for a court to exist/commence hearing cases was three. ... Because, as you wrote, no man can judge alone. That is the province of G-d. Blessings, Gershon

The horrid part, the Judges are far Left and soft on crime. Justice does not. Matter. Politicians get away with near murder. They are above the law? We have an infected Justice system, a crooked FBI and DOJ. The Israeli system makes sense. On Judgement Day, hell wii be packed. Morals don’t matter anymore to many. We cannot even be humane in posts! How sad is that? Write poetry, do not destroy another poet.not one of is a God,nor should be honored as one.that is a sin called idolatry.PS is not a religious site..it is of human origin. Panagiota.

You have some words to think about. Some people don't think, some don't care and some are mean. I have seen all 3 over my life. (Not Here) People love to judge because it gives them power. Only God should judge. Have a blessed day with a hug..................

Well, Paula, I hope you don’t meet the mean ones here. But they are here. Why wouldn’t they be? Life extends right into the Soup. You can’t be physically harmed. No. But hurt? Some here are not right in the head. Will embarass you, even try to get you removed from the site.one person stopped a rabid group out for my hide.i had to report a fool to Admin today. There are trolls on thi site as well. And whole groups who may decide not to read you. It shocked me! ButI got over it. Less trusting of poets now. People here are like outside. .some are likwarm bunnies.Others out for your hide. I pray you never get hurt here.I am not the only one. PANAGIOTA

Hello Panagiota, people that bullied are the ones that were bullied as children. Because they did not heal. so they bully people because they know no better. Hugs .xxx./Darlene/

Hello Panagiota, Yes people can change their evil ways. Right! Being mean is not the way to go through life. They are only hurting themselves.Hugs /xxx/Darlene/

I see your point. If they can’t follow soup rules, I can imagine the trouble they cause in real life! Anyway, time they grow up.. people can change evil ways.being mean…is no way to go through life. No excuses for that….Panagiota
