Judge Not!

Blog 353:

Brew coffee
Turn on tube
Listen to newsfeed
Lose mind in the crowd …

Check mail postings
Respond if passionately led
Pour ‘happy juice’ in a cup
Then sip it all in stride …

Look at the clock!
It makes noise, it shouts,
“Time to get up and about!”
Say NO to dilly-dallying now
Groom and dress
Map out day, like it or not …

Wow, all that and there’s time left
Do attend to darling pets
Cuddle her here, throw his ball there
Take a walk perhaps … 

All routine done … and just in time
Catch more news or opinion squawk
Clock strikes seven, the signal hour
Morning route must commence …

Yes … time to beat the traffic
Get out now and begin day’s grind
Let hours slowly slip by
And day’s deeds carry out ...

“Mundane day’s journey,” rats a voice.

“Conventional … repetitive!” shouts another.

It does appear on the surface
Repetitive endeavor is meaningless
But does mockery of someone’s strive
Bring worthwhile, upright resolve?

Echo of a precept sounds out
“Judge not, lest you be judged!”
Before one’s muck we criticize
Let’s pluck the log from our eyes!
