Examinations of our Minds

To those of us who judge
(unknowingly or by deliberation)

I say this

When judging others
We ourselves should exercise
Synchronous

Similar examinations
Of our own minds

That we miss not those faults we own

And yet ignore

When serpent like we hiss
Transfixed

Outside the others door

Obsessed

Enabling words
Formed deep in the abyss
To travel from our minds

So blind
To scornful lips

Words born of arrogance
Part of ourselves

We do not see

For
Insidious

They lie in us

The same as that we mock

In 'He'

Those faults of others

That of which we all do moan

Forgetful

All the time of those immortal words

Let him who has no sin
Cast first the stone
