Perfect words, perfect art, judging others when one should judge them selves. I loved the very creative words written and the art work was very much related with the writer's words here.
Jesus told us "Judge not and ye shall not be judged" Christ was very consistent with telling everyone that Love was a very important part of our lives and forgivness as well.
I really loved the words this writer has written.

Comment from prodigal
I think you are one of a very few poets here who write on a professional level. I have read a few of your poems over the past few months and I'm always impressed. I think I could learn a lot from reading your writing. Great job with this one, and I think you picked some good verses to quote. Well done- Sam

Comment from Shirley B
this is a beautiful poem. It speaks to everyone. I think we are all a little bad about judging. This is a great poem. Good luck in the contest. Happy writing. Shirley

Human nature judges and criticizes. We're all guilty. When I wrote this poem the first time, it said, "You" and then I realized I must include myself and changed that to "We" or I would be hypocritical. God bless you Shirley B. thanks for the kind review.

If we all could be so just as to not judge other people it would be a better world. I thought you did a wonderful job on this. Good luck in the contest.

very long time, no see or read
but your Biblical words I'll heed
because no matter how hard I try
sometimes I let hateful words fly
even when I have a plank
I'll sometimes try to pull up rank
and act like I just might be
a little be better than the queen bee
great job, good luck in the contest

Thanks so much.
Comment from Daizie
Wow...This is a wonderful, poem, Jewel, and such a very important subject. I like how it was written strongly but not so heavy as to be off-putting. I also like how you mentioned some scriptures at the end, that support the thoughts in your poem. The Bible is full of examples of love and mercy. If only we could all live as God wants us to -- quick to reach out and lend a hand, rather than to condemn. How much happier we all would be!

This is an absolutely beautiful and inspirational piece that is very well written with a smooth flow and wonderful message. I truly believe that judging to be left to the judge, not us. Thank you for sharing! Superb work. :) Pilar

It is a lot to take in and the artwork is a little distracting at first. I thought you met the requirements well, and managed a good poem void of all the preching. Good luck in the contest.

Thanks Michelle. Is the artwork too much?

It is a little severe but goes well with what you have.

Comment from LYLE
Jewell,
I agree with all that you have written, which I am certain will be a relief to God:) Unfortunately men and women will never follow the Rules. There must always be someone to be beneath one, else everyone would be equal. Never! That would make the average black equal to the average or below average white, and the Mexican-American equal to a true Texan (white), never! There must always be someone lower,
more sinful, less honest than another. So many people climb up their little ladders by walking on other people.
It would be nice, if they could climb up on their own merits. Maybe one day?
Fondly, Lyle

If only we would just go by the rules, eh? There will always be sin and always be choices not to sin. We can make the right choice. I'm not sure the point you were trying to make but thanks for the review and stars!

Jewell,
The point was simply that people will always judge other people, and most of the time the judgment will not be kind. The judge always has to be better than the defendant.
Fondly, Lyle

Comment from RaymondJohn
People who rejoice at other's failings have always disgusted me. Then they beg for forgiveness for themselves when they get caught. Then there are others, like the Ayatoullahs who beg for censure. Important message. Best of luck in the competition. Ray.
