Don't Judge Me
28 May 2006
I never put my hand up
and I never volunteered
drugs or booze is not a cruse
it's no fun being here

Thought I'd played my cards right
I gambled wealth away
smoked that shit and drank a bit
and now it's time to pay

Life is oh so simple
to a fool who's on the make
but please be sure you look before
those dangerous steps you take

All those sad, sad faces
each have a tale to tell
for some it's  just unpleasant
but to others it pure Hell

I'm not very fond of the first verse, but I loved the rest! It got me thinking about how we, as a society, tend to judge people on their past behaviour.
Meaningful

I'm not a critic so much as someone who writes a review when they read something that demands that of them. And this poem certainly demands attention, and quite rightfully. Quick and to the point, this poem is easy to read and puts across a message that most poems fail to deliver. As a member of society it has, after reading it, made me consider about how much I and other people judge people, perhaps without even knowing their stories. Good Work. Keep it up please! :)
beautiful poem..
