Standing in judgment
condemning others
when we stand in glass
houses
shards all around
Throwing stones in glass
houses
letting them fly, without
thought,
not remembering the
teachings of Jesus
on casting the first stone
Too quick to judge,
hiding our hypocrisy
behind family values
when we have none of our own
Better to be humble
to focus within
to turn from the world
and reject our own sin
