eyes of judgment you pass
Appraising material possessions
Condemning the future as you pass
with status and pride
you throw stones at the past
In an alley a beaten down man
with dirty clothes and an outstretched hand
you curse and yell
what he wouldnt tell
his family lost to tragedy
his life full of despair
A young women clothed and worn
you sneer as you pass
Her body sore from the beatings
from the night before
The young man you scoff at
cant find a job
quit school when he was young
to take care of his dieing mom
The child you laughed at
cant speak well
last summer he almost drowned
In a underground well
Lives they have lived
past we all have
judgment you should never pass
Your venom you should swallow
Have a heart full and not hollow
Our days are numbered
our ending the same
status and pride will not follow to the grave.
Good words! 🙂
Check your spelling… “Judgment” or “Judgement” 🙂
Hope you don’t mind the suggestion.
Thank you posting from my mobile App last night and today a challenge. Haha
I appreciate the corrective criticism and I enjoy your words as well.
I really like the depth in this one!
Thanks sweetie!
like this one here. lots of real life situations….:)
I like this one a lot. I think it could be interesting to see it divided into different stanzas as it might add even more layers to it. Good work. 🙂
I think you are correct! I will try some thing and repost. As always I appreciate your advice, have a fabulous day 🙂
