We dislike in others, reflections of
The dark shadows of our soul
We want to escape
Judging others
Criticizing, fault finding
In reality condemning ourselves
Unable to face the truth
Rejecting the reality we may find
Forgiving ourselves too easily
While transferring blame to the other
He did this to me! Look at what she did!
Its easier to get by this way, but not simpler
Truth doesn’t escape a knowing heart
Biding time, till we accept
That judging others is to judge ourselves
