Judge Not Least You Be Judged! Poem by Roxanne Dubarry

Judge Not Least You Be Judged!



Judge, not least you be judged!
When I was younger than I am today.
I used to make fun of fat people.

Guess what? I will tell you,
who is over weight today!
Yours truly that's who.

I used to call bald people, '
bald headed eagles! '
Guess who struggles with
hair loss today?
Yours truly that's who.

I used to make fun
of people with mental
problems. Guess who?
Who is being treated
for mental health
problems today?
Yours truly, that's who.

I used to make fun of
musicians bad singing voices.
And making wrong musical choices.
Guess who struggles with her
singing voice today?
Yours truly that's who.

Who used to make fun
of sick people lying
in their beds? Guess
who? Yours truly
that's who.

I used to be angry with
kids who made fun of
the size of my poor nose!
I used to hate and curse them.
Now the size of my nose is
much larger today. What more
about it can I say.

I used to make fun of short
people, and now I am one.
What more is new under
the sun!

I used to make fun of
people on welfare. I used
to call them, 'welfare trash.'
And now I am on the Snap
program today. What more
is there to say? I have an
EBT card!
