To sit in judgement
Of what lives in other’s minds
Is best left to God
For without omnipotence
Who am I to throw a stone

Enjoyed this Dom… and I wish I could be like this… I try to be non-judgemental. but every now and then someone’s actions and their behaviour causes me to judge them… there are some lines that shouldn’t be crossed in my mind and when they are that is when I tend to judge. Anything that is done that I perceive as malicious that causes harm and I find myself reaching for that stone…especially where children and those that cannot protect themselves is concerned…also those that would make a joke of a very serious issue… I would like to be the bigger man, but unfortunately I cannot always be so…

Thank you TJ. I certainly can’t say that I am always able to rise above the fray, I have failed at this so many times I can’t even count, but I really do try.

If more people adopted this mentality, we’d have far less problems. Nice poem.
