Where you're not known, you're judged by your appearance.

A person cannot be judged by his appearance in the same token as the sea cannot be measured with a bucket.
Judged (I Believe)
Originally posted in 2008, however some issues occured and all my poetry was deleted, however I had a copy of it stored and am reposting it now
Do me wrong, and ill do you right
Punch me in the face, and ill still be alright
Do me wrong and say what you will
Cos I know and I believe
That These folks will be judged someday
I believe you'll be judged one day
Stab my back, and ill scratch yours right
Screw me over and Ill still be alright
Screw me over, stab my back
Cos I know and I believe
That everyone is judged someday
I believe you'll be judged one day
Don't Believe in God, cos I like his teachin'
Don't worship the son, cos I hate their preachin'
But I believe I'll be judged someday
I believe I'll be judged someday

As individuals, we will be judged in our lives by the totality of our actions. Not one thing will stand out. And I think that's how we get judged by our colleagues and that's how we get judged by the good lord.

The Odd One Out
Bittersweet is the life lived,
By that one depicted to be...
The odd one out.
The one picked as a child,
To be the one most unusual.
Bittersweet is the taste,
Of being determined to succeed...
Against opposition,
Standing on the sidelines...
And betting one this different will bleed.
Bittersweet is the one that experiences,
Observing other fall to their knees...
With qualifications that guarantees,
Them success.
But no happiness from them is expressed.
Bittersweet is the life lived,
By that one depicted to be...
The odd one out.
The one picked as a child,
To be the one most unusual.
'He is so unlike the others.'
~Yeah.
Despite his appearance,
He is determined, motivated and devoted.~
'What does his appearance have to do with anything? '
~You must be from out of town?
That's how people who live here are judged.~
'Maybe with that already known,
That's why he has chosen to live here.
And has succeeded inspite of attemtps to stop him.'

What Is Beauty
what is beauty?
beauty to most is the appearance of others and thats what they judged on,
but to the people who step back from the world beauty is much more then that,
beauty is personality and the way u cary yourself,
beauty is looking in the the eyes of a lover,
beauty is a new day shining on the harisen,
the ability to start over and change your mind,
its telling the truth when its easier to lie,
beauty is a new babe in the arms of a loving mother,
beauty is a person with a heart who can love unconditionally and rise above the insults of closed minded men and women out there that think sex and appearance is all that maders in life,
beauty is letting your tiers show to everyone and not feel that your weak,
its standing up and letting the world know your there and your not going to back down no mader what it throws at u,
beauty is knowing that a heart of ice or stone it’s still a heart but is not been worked on enough to see what’s under the surfes

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

It seems to me that in the western world, culture has something to do with appearance. A person that's out creating good stuff has got to appreciate someone when they take the time to have an appearance that goes with what they're doing.

Judged
Will they judge me by the color of my skin
Instead by my soul and whats deep within
When I am greeted by either women or men
Will they even ask where I have been.
Will I be judged because I am a man
With my heart and feelings will they understand
Will I be greeted with an outreached hand
Will they hold it against me when I make a stand.
Will I be judged because I am old
And not wanting to do the things that I am told
Will they remember the good deeds that I sowed
As onto truth and honesty I will always hold.
Will I be judged because of the way I was
Once I found happiness and also love
But then I found out it was hate and also lust
So please tell me, how will I be judge.

Small And Great
The sea gave up the dead and,
The great Book was opened!
Of Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Jews and others;
And to be judged according to their various works,
Small amd great in the name of the law!
Let nobody deprive you of your reward in this world,
And of the duties of mankind so set to all of us;
For one day we will all be judged as according to our works.

Its Created Existence
How can anyone be judged and tried,
And sentenced for any wrong doing.
In places known to be delusional,
And fantasized.
Buildings have been erected,
Just to encase the creation of laws and reasons!
To satisfy a power base crushing from within.
How can anyone be judged and tried,
And sentenced for wrong doing.
How did that wrongdoing begin?
There is no escaping,
From its created existence.
Where would one go...
To seek a truth pursued?

Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover
Don’t judge me by the way I look
and by the way I have my hair.
Don’t judge me by my dirty shoes
and by the way my jeans have tears.
Don’t think because I have tattoos
that I’m not nice to know.
Don’t think because I swear
that I have no feelings to show.
My appearance is a defence
to how I feel inside.
My sensitivity is my weakness
so my appearance is just a lie.

In Grandma's Homemade Fruit Cake
One has to live a life to know what it is like,
To experience the quality of diversified injustices.
It seems many have been fed to believe,
A feeding digested upon a variety of twisted images.
And those judging another's appearance,
As if the act of it is not felt or seen...
Expose instantly their lack of comprehension.
Although those physically judged,
Are expected to express their gratitude....
For the opportunity to be subjected to the process.
Especially...
If those judging and sitting as jurors,
Are quick to depict themselves...
As the creators of the Sun, Moon, Stars and Earth.
And the givers of life as a way to show they are,
Well...
Nuttier than all the nuts found,
In grandma's homemade fruit cake.
And,
The odds are likely to be in their favor...
They may have a clue of actually being aware of it!

Magic Box
Delve into my magic box
Put on the coat therein-
Assume your new identity
And let its life begin
The shoulders may weigh heavily
You 'll walk with altered gait
A lesser mortal are you, now,
And shackled to your fate.
Find the shoes of Another Man
Walk until they fit
And you shall find your lowly place
But dare not rise from it!
You will be judged by others
Who once were judged by you,
And pray this fait accompli
My magic will undo.....

The Bond
You are playing the harlot by breaking the bond of marriage,
But so be it;
because you do not know the law given to us!
Look for a wife and marry and,
Stop sleeping around with the woman;
For one day you will be judged.
Look for a man and marry and,
Stop sleeping with the men around;
For one day you will be judged too.
I am eating like a parrot and,
You are eating like a dog!
But when the world crashes,
We will all die and be judged thereafter.
Oil for light and spices for the anointing,
You are playing the harlot by breaking the bond of marriage!
And you are like the almond flowers with buds and,
I am like the covering of a ram's skin dyed red.
Cover your nakedness and learn the laws,
For i am like a sheep under the great tree;
Cover your nakedness and come to me,
For togeher with me you will learn to uphold the laws;
And like a pillar of stone closer to you but,
In honesty and in truth to live by the law.

Appearance
Appearance, pear, pan, pen, appear, ear, era, cape, cap, pence;
Where the word of the king is,
There is power! !
But whoever keeps the commandments will experience nothing harmful.
Appearance, ace, rap, rape, reap, near, pace, pea, ape, an, race;
And like the muse of your love in the land of your birth,
But try to understand the systems around you!
For whoever keeps the commandments will experience nothing harmful.

External Looks
When an emphasis is placed on one's appearance,
And external looks.
A shallow mindset begets surfaced sincerities.
With an onslaught of unresting solicited approval.
Never to soothe those on a quest...
To be accepted with self expression questioned.
And any compliments given,
Are subject to be suspected.
When an emphasis is placed on one's appearance,
And external looks...
A neglect of an internal reflection,
Shows on those mindless who feed on inspection.

To Take a Bite of a Candy Bar
To take a bit of a candy bar
is to gain another pound
To gain another pound
is to have a little more fat
To have a little more fat
is to be a little more judged
to be a little more judged
is to be a little more hurt
to be a little more hurt
is to be a little more alone
to be a little more alone
is to be a little more forgotten
If you are a little more forgotten
than come sit next to me
and together we can split one candy bar.
I'll try to break it equally.

The Judgement Seat Of Christ
What will be your fate
for eternity
on the Day of Judgement? 2 Peter 3: 1-7.
Judgement
“He that exercises faith in him
is not to be judged.
He that does not exercise faith
has been judged already,
because he has not
exercised faith
in the name of
the only-begotten
Son of God.” John 3: 18.
The Judgement Seat Of Christ
“For we must all
be made manifest
before the judgement seat
of the Christ,
that each one
may get his award
for the things done
through the body,
according to the things
he has practiced,
whether it is
good or vile.” 2 Corinthians 5: 10.
As we sow, so shall we reap.

Success And Image And The Face Of It
Those who say,
Looks aren't everything!
Aren't the ones who are judged,
Based solely upon them.
And besides...
This can be deducted,
From what many prize.
Thick lips, nappy hair and brown eyes...
Are not considered standards,
By those who analyze.
Not for a beauty,
Considered to be immortalized.
No matter who is competent...
In a package that is presented!
If it doesn't suit the taste,
For those who select an image to digest.
As an appearance,
That suggests success...
And not a waste to regret.
It will be the 'image' one picks,
Over a competence that 'may' exist.
'But hasn't it been image and not substance,
That has increased in an invited decadence? '
Well...
Yes.
'But who in reality today believes? '
Remember this...
Image speaks volumes.
And easier to hype.
On the other hand...
Reality is something placed,
On an equality wish list...
Not too soon to happen,
For the sake of changing...
Success and image and the face of it!
