An Early Afternoon Poem/Prayer

Judgement, judgement everywhere,

if not in words then with a stare.

Judging others is a way to hide

from being aware of our truth inside.

Rules, laws, and customs galore,

but what is there purpose, what are they for?

The Torah was given to purify man,

so much we know of G-d's master plan.

It belittles us when we make religion small,

like just another text or telephone call.

G-d please bless us to be real and to grow,

to navigate our soul's through life's turbulent flow.
