No Surprise Poem by Francis Duggan

It should come as no surprise
That those quick to judge and criticize
Any criticism of themselves do find hard to bear
And of their own feelings only seem aware
That others too have feelings they fail to realize
And therefore they cannot seem to empathise
With those they verbally put down
As the unworthy people of the town
The judgemental are not rare one meets them every day
To reflect negatively on others is their way
A reason for their poor attitude in life 'twould seem
Is that they themselves suffer a sense of low self esteem
And that others too have feelings they fail to realize
Is not in the least bit a surprise.
