It's easy to pass judgement
When you have a good life,
It's easy to point the finger
When you have it all.
Notice when you see a beggar
You never look into his eyes?
Scared of what you may find
In their bitter reflection.
You walk by a whore in the street
And never see the Woman standing there,
It's always a thing to avoid
A source for your contempt.
We read our morning papers
Watch the evening news.
Complaining the world has gone to hell
From the comfort of your chair.
I've looked into the eyes of a beggar
Seen myself in those eyes.
I've past a whore in the street
Seen a Woman standing there.
Every life has a meaning
Every existence has a point.
It may not be pretty or special
But it's all they have.
Spare me the hypocrisy
The judgement of the righteous,
You don't have the right
To say you are any better.

Yes it is very easy to pass judgement on others when we see them...
We should stop to think about what we have and reflect upon how they got to where they are...everyone needs love and acceptance...regardless of where they are at one point in their life...it could just as easily be us in their shoes...
Sp check) I've past a whore in the street( past- passed)
