JUDGE YE NOT
Judge ye not that ye be judged,
for
judgment does carry a burden;
A
weight that none of us should bear,
of
inflicting our truth when we are uncertain.
Our
eyes can only see so much,
and
our hearts cannot accurately weigh the right;
We
are prejudiced by our own vision,
and
biased by our own life's plight.
For
what is right and what is wrong,
but
hearsay, wishes, and perceptions;
None
of which is without error,
full
of conjecture and misconceptions.
Once
we have judged another,
even
if this judgment is wrong;
We
blame, point fingers, try to punish,
without
helping the truth along.
Truth
does not need our help,
though we may play part of the drama;
For
truth will make finally make itself known,
in
the path of the personal karma.
And
if we trust the law of karma,
then
we need not place judgment on others;
For
karma will make retribution,
and
bring to justice the actions of our brothers.
