Judge Me Not Poem by James Donovan

On judgement day when we face God and stand before His gate;
will we be able to tell Him we did not discriminate;
that we tried to give equality to every living man
and treat them all with fairness in accordance with His plan.

That we never practised bigotry or made a racial slur,
or made a hateful comment on one's color or coiffure.
That we never judged a man because of his religion;
or shunned him with indifference because of superstition.

Did we ever display chauvinism to a female friend
who recognized our sexism and prayed for it to end.
Did we show impartiality when we refused to pray
for a stranger of a different faith who didn't think our way.

The bible tells us 'Judge me not' or you'll be judged as well;
that intolerance and prejudice are roads that lead to Hell,
and holy scripture lets us know iniquity is banned,
and God will treat us all as we treat our fellowman.

So when we meet our maker and stand before His throne
will we bow our heads and pray to not be left alone,
and not be separated from His kingdom high above
If we promise to be humble and give everyone our love.
