Who has not told a lie, for good or bad or who knows why
Who has not stolen a thing, a pen, a pencil, a piece of string
Who has not had a bad thought, about a man or woman or what not
Who has not taken a life, a mosquito, a fly, a thistle or garden weeds rife
How is pornography worse than a scantily clothed model or celebrity
No harm in a bare arm, and we look innocently on a naked knee
But a bare breast or groin we detest, did not the God that gave one give the rest
Is it that with jealousy we harshly judge those that we begrudge

Thank you Norman your read and comment are always most appreciated
most welcome
A lyric beauty which just the right sting of tartness! A fave for sure dear Soren🕊️🙏🏻
Thanks so much my friend I cringe when I hear others being judgmental and arrogantly feeling better than someone else then I think is this not judgmental on my part am I not a hypocrite myself?
A revolving mirror kind of thing🕊️🙏🏻
One of those poems where you force your audience into a mirror questioning their morality.
Poem raises thoughtful questions about moral inconsistency, hypocrisy, and judgment and confronting the reader with their own imperfections, encouraging self‑reflection rather than condemnation
Good one.
