This work has reached the exceptional level

This piece was very well written and enjoyed the way it seemed to crescendo and build unto the end...

I like the imagery at the end.

These lines were very thought provoking...

Do you speak in loving words when a heart is torn in two?
Do you judge and criticize or do you seek what's true?

Truth is such a noble cause.

Sorry I have not been able to promote your work more but have been preparing for my own release. Hope this Helped.

It is better to go through life non judgmental my dear friend as I try to do, but there are some who seem unable to do it for some reason or another and feel they must to achieve their own glory. My brother once told me I would never have anything in life because I am too honest. Hmmm, ok, I accept,LOL. Seems judgment always has a way of coming back around time after time after time if you like playing it's game, kind of reminds me of the valley girl," I'm Like Oh my Gawd, like can you believe that, like, I'm soo sure." LOL, wonderful poem my dear friend. Ray :>)

I like how he put this all togather and I think it was grate I like the being of the poem and I did not like the ending i think that you could of added something in their so that people would wonder what going to happen you can always leave them wonding about what's the next move that this poem is going to take. Something like the happy ending cause I no some of the poems don't always have the happy ending to them but it would make your poem a lot better if you would leave them to wonder some of the time why they will read more and try to get the Message of what the poem was wroght for .

Excellent extended work on ignoring one's own fault and harping on other's. Your rhyme scheme and rhythm reads like a judge on the bench reading charges. Thanks for a great read. Best. Ray.

The only reason I have 4 instead of 5 stars here is because thie piece feels like two seperate poeams as it reads.
The first half something universal to all of us who judge others without concern to how they might feel about what we tell them, which is a powerful message in its own right.
The second half has a more religious tone and sounds like only God has such a right, which is a different message from the good that can come with careful with words when the other is down that is more like the first half of the poem. I think that both thoughts are valuable, but they need some joining to be in one poem or there are two really good poems here.
