Judge’s seat

I don’t want the judge’s seat, robe
when I am with others I want to see
them just the way they really are
with all their virtues and faults.

Iam not going to set my foot
in this trap built by our ego
which makes us judge innocents
with the eyes of an all knowing thing.

Forgetting or trying to ignore
our own follies by probing
the follies in others spending time
staring at the spots in moon.

I would rather remind me
that virtues in me should others see
and I too shall do the same
life is too short to stare at darkness.
