Judgments

Everyone’s a critic;
Each of us a judge,
Making our pronouncements
After wading through the sludge.

Weighing all the options,
Probing with precision;
Finally arriving at
A personal decision.

Judgments are subjective
Beyond the basic rules
And sometimes someone judging
Overlooks the hidden jewels.

Life is full of choices
And every time we choose,
Though somebody rejoices,
Another has to lose.
