That Which We Judge

that which we judge
in others are usually
the reflections

of our own desires,
of the darkness within
that we deny!

be it murder...
have you never lashed
out in anger?

be it theft...
if you were hungry
without choice... would you?

be it lust....
dont tell me you've
never looked and wanted!

be it prejudice...
are you afraid of
anyone who's different?

be it lying....
are you denying
all of this?

be it greed...
who do you think
of first?

in the end...
we're only judging
ourselves!
