thoughts & feelings The pretenders
Everybody that
Knows me knows I’m
Not judgmental toward
Anybody. I try to give
Others the benefits of
The doubt always I’ll admit
There have been times
That I’ve started to judge
Others and I just have to remind
Myself that myself of all
People has no right to judge
Others no matter who they are
Or the background they grew up
In. especially with me being disabled
Like I am! I can tell within a few minutes
Of talking to somebody whether
I would like to get to know them or
Not most the time . As for some of my family in some ways I’m glad I’m not related by blood to them I refer to some of my family as pretenders
Because that pretend to live by the book
Read their bibles everyday pray daily,
Go to church every time the doors are open.
Yet they have no problems judging others
About the way they live their lives.
As they say things like this I
Wonder if they’re thinking about god’s
Words. Some of my family makes
Comments about being
Abusive to animals.
When they do this
I’m wondering if they’re thinking
God isn’t listening so it doesn’t
Matter. I have news for them god is
Always listening to everybody
And everything takes place in the
Unfair world today the reason I
Call people like this pretenders
Is because they
Act one way
Yet they say and
Do others things.

a good poem..love it
No offense but writing a long paragraph about how you don't judge anybody and how God is superoir and then spreading out the lines to look like freeverse isn't poetry. it's just nauseating.
