JUDGMENT

By what measures do you abide?

Is one person greater than another?

Is the person you despise lesser

Than that person you admire so very much?

What determines the value of your measures?

Is your measure more valuable than mine or his?

Does it make you a better person than I

Because your ancestors were lords of the land

While mine were only servants to those lords?

If you find fault with someone’s mistakes,

Is it because of your own secret sins?

Where is it written that you should judge?

Who determined which should judge others?

Are you so really sure of what you say?

How then, justify your constant failure

To forgive someone else’s misdeeds

While you rush to countenance your own?

Again, I ask, what measure do you use?

Is it really so correct and true

That it brooks no other way to measure worth?

Why is your measure so absolutely true

And mine as full of fault as you often infer?

What would you say if told that my measures

Were the only true ones that exist?

They really are, you know.
