Backstabbers And Judgement Passers Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Judgements heard to be passed,
On others by those with druthers to do this...
Seem to be done by the ones,
Disapproving the people being themselves.
As those with their blemishes, flaws...
And other insecurities exposed,
To show it without it being expressed...
A shallow ego fearing acceptance.
Or the experience of being rejected.

'And those who backstab?
As if they are glad to do it.'

I've never known anyone,
To do that in the presence of another.
Common sense tells me...
A person who does that,
Would have a fear of being physically abused. Publicly!
However...
It has occurred to me,
Backstabbers and judgement passers do have similar traits.

'But...
Isn't that a judgement done to pass? '

Ummm. Not necessarily.
You see...
I'm sharing with you an observation.
And not an opinion.

'Oh. Okay.
So If I said you discriminate.
Would that be an opinion given?
Or an observation? '
