Jaundiced eye
uninhibited with one
restrained with another
responses vary too
between brother and mother
if this be the truth
recognising ego is at play
judgment scars innocence
till love becomes our mainstay

Jaundiced Eye
The lizard looks hideous
and rats are not like squirrels,
are our preconceived judgments,
proclaimed everyday.

He of the Jaundiced Eye
The jaundiced eye is yellow -
but not the yellow of sunny cheerfulness or optimism
Rather – the yellow of an alcoholic’s eyes
when after years of feeding his destructive habit,
he is stricken ill and is dying.
Like the bad drunk who blames others
for his miserable condition,

discriminating against the jarring note
condemning without seeking permission
from heart that unconditional love emotes
moment to moment we keep on judging
oblivious to divine beauty below the skin
stuporous attention
