the world judges
we all judge
we even judge our judging
ask yourself
what did it feel like for you
to be judged
did you feel
wronged
misunderstood
maligned
were you numb
thumbed down
dumbed down
dismissed
erased
judgments sometimes
aren't conscious decisions
they are biases
they can be very personal
in more ways than one
they have tentacles
and consequences that reach
far and wide
long and deep
how they can
wound and scar
even kill and maim
give plenty cause to weep
words run on
and run off
and you can't call them back
from whence they came
and sorry
and I'm so sorry
and we're all so sorry
can't sop up all the shame
that comes with the blame-game
of judgment
think
you boast
post an e-mail or
tweet
your words
what ill they can reap
and you might be the Reaper.

ALL THE BETTER FOR IT...
FORGIVENESS, INCLUDING FORGIVING OURSELVES
FOR JUDGING IS PART OF THE ABOVE EQUATION, AS WELL.
