Why Judge Me?

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."- Matthew 7:1-2

Why judge me for my dark skin

when I have done you no sin

Why judge me for my coarse hair

when all I have done is care

Why judge me for my small eyes

when I have only been nice

Why judge me for my flat nose

when I've tried not to impose

Why judge me for my wide mouth

when I've been honest no doubt

Why judge me for my full lips

when I don't do dirty tricks

Why judge me for my gap teeth

when I give you space to breathe

Why judge me for my big breasts

when I wish you to be blessed

Why judge me for my large waist

when I don't judge you in haste

Why judge me for my wide hips

when good words come from my lips

Why judge me for my big butt

when I help no matter what

Why judge me for my rough hands

when all hardships I withstand

Why judge me for my bowled legs

when I can be a good friend

Why judge me for my rough heels

when you don't know my ordeals

Why judge my obesity

when we can live peacefully

Do not judge by what you see

not until you have known me

And even if we differ

let’s be brothers and sisters

We can argue or agree

and agree to disagree

No need to be judgemental

Kindness is fundamental

Try to be understanding

who knows it'll be life-changing

So if you can show kindness

Go ahead, spread happiness

“Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.” - Dalai Lama

“Be kind, don’t judge, and have respect for others. If we can all do this, the world would be a better place. The point is to teach this to the next generation.” - Jasmine Guinness
