Judgment

Where should I begin

Our world is covered in sin

Like a blanket we're all snuggled up under

Kicking out others who should fill us with wonder

 

Wish the world could see that sin is subjective 

Churches and religion should be more retrospective

The seven deadly sins should be null and void 

Instead of showing how to succumb to the ID observed by Freud

 

Not accepting diversity could be catastrophic

With differences so, so microscopic

Nobody should judge, because they've made mistakes too

So if I could change just one thing in the world, it'd be you.

 

You, reading this poem,  making opinions of me

Sitting at your table, sipping wine and eating brie.

 

 

The one thing in the world I would change is how judgemental people can be. I wish people could just see that they are being, for lack of a better word, stupid. In my poem I bring up sin. By bringing up sin I am saying that everybody's focus on sins and negatives is making society what it is. I believe that if we'd focus on possitives this world would be better. Instead of judging others for what we believe is a sin, we should focus on ourselves and why maybe what you did by judging them is worse of a sin than what they are doing. At the end of my poem I bring to light the fact that everybody does it. The lines saying that I would change others, is supposed to say that even I sin. And even though I see that judging is bad and I want to change it, my subconious mind still does it occasionally.

I find that when I try to explain myself in words in an explanation it doesn't ever come out right. I can't seem to get words out in the right order unless I'm writing poetry. I really enjoyed writing this because it helped get my words straight, and I can't thank powerpoetry enough for getting me thinking about this topic for a poem.
