I don’t know why
And I really don’t care why
Some are quick to judge
And driven by
Wrong perceptions
And unrealistic expectations
When all that is needed is just
One good heart to see and
One good soul to feel
What our naked eye cannot perceive
I Don’t Know Why

Many a good soul is judged without a thought. Yet those who are harmful are let go without question. It is a gift to be able to see into a soul this gift is given by Our Heavenly Father so we have advance warning of people’s intent. Good poem well written.

People are quick to judge to avoid being judged. People are only willing to see what they can beyond their own two eyes. You’re right, people must look deeper.🌹
