Judge Me Not

Judge Me Not Judgment Notes:
This, like me, is a work in progress ( emphasis on progress )

Judge me not
Lest you be judged
Self-appointed judges lurk

Judge not the lady
Who forgets her name
No fault of hers at work

Lest you be judged
Beware results
Of words that are unkind

Judge not the man
Awandering
He’s chasing a place in mind

Judge if you must,
The action, not the man,
Lest you be misunderstood

Judge not the child
Who has yet to learn
The norms of adulthood

Hold your judgment
For the facts
Leave judgment to the judge

Judge not the skin
You’ll be judged right back
And neither will dare to budge

Be fair to all
Befriend the poor
And you’ll be fairly judged

Judge not the stranger
Look each person in the eye
Judge them not

Offer your hand
And not your fist
No judgment will be got

In the end
No judgment made
No judgment judged

Respect the Me
Respect the Dignity
Judge me not
