Judge.

To survive in nature, one must judge.
Will this particular
item/experience/person
be helpful or harmful?
So ingrained in our brains
This need to categorize
Another instinct often in the wrong context.

Judgement is attached in the most unlikely of places.
Judge an object, will you?
Capabilities don't equal villiany
Money and weaponry and knowledge
Tools without moral stance
Yet hated or exalted as if they've sense of their own
As if they bring with them the deeds done in their name.

It is hard to resist judgement.
What could be easier?
Judgement is completion
Finality, no more work to be done
This is this and that is that
Simple path flecked with lightning
Dirt stamped to hardness with constant use.

Many say they don't judge.
Can they see how they lie?
I see myself rationalize blind dismissal
While damning those that judge me
I'm smart enough to see my weakness
not wise enough to eliminate it.

To be honest, never have I met anyone
Living truly from event to event.

It would be a meet with a saint.
