Judge Not
People make mistakes every now and then
Some make them time and time again
It doesn't mean poor judgment is what they lack
It just takes some a while to get on track
But if second and third chances are not theirs to take
Then what kind of difference in their life do we make
When their faults are constantly put under a microscope
We are not assuring that for them there is hope
Instead the message that comes across to them
Is regardless what they do it'll be them who we'll condemn
And that is not the example in which we want to set for others
When they too should be treated like our sisters and brothers
So judge not, it's not the right thing to do nor is it fair
For when we judge others ignorance is what our hearts wear
Nobody is perfect we have faults of our own
So respect to others is what needs to be shown.
