Wow, this speaks volumes. If more people wanted to be quick to learn instead of quick to judge the world would be a different place. Beautiful poem. Best of luck with your entry. Many blessings to you

Comment from Elviss
A truly conscious poem indeed. The structuring of the couplets acts to give us the complete picture that you set out to paint. I do think that the rhyming was lacking in some instances, like see and debris. But otherwise this was a good read.

Thank you so much Elviss for your kind review and comments. I truly appreciate you reading my poem and it's always nice to hear from someone with the same values. And with all due respect, I always welcome feedback, but everyone has raved about the rhymes being so spot on and the way the syllables were used, see and debris were perfect rhymes. But I truly would appreciate hearing how you think what might have made a better rhyme.
And I mean that most sincerely. And I do thank you again tho for your very kind review.

You've written an excellent poem about our judgmental nature, and why we should consider self-evaluation and possible change. I agree with you. We watch news on TV and form an opinion in less than five minutes. If we were forced to walk in someone else's shoes, our opinions would change. Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Frank Malley
"Conscience Calling" is a thirty-line poem that expands on the "Judge not, lest thou be judged" advice. The poem skillfully uses tetrameter in rhyming couplets that each exemplify one reason to follow the path of kindness and humility. The poem's strength is its directness and good will; its weakness is its lack to appeal to sophisticated individuals because of its simplicity. Sophisticated individuals are numerous, and need to be included in an effort to make a better world.

Very good advice throughout. Many people would do well to read this poem. I read it twice. You should do well in the contest. Maybe I'll read it again when I see it posted as the winner.
