Living with the blind...

 When I see people I hold my mind loosely…
But why do I see others as others don't see?
I wish I could see like them... superficially.
Then I too could judge and think more about me.

 When I see people, I don't see them as they see me;

I see only a vessel of possible possibilities.
I judge neither by weakness nor disabilities,
I judge the inside, where you my friend... cannot see.

 How can they judge someone that they don't know to any degree?

When I see someone I live by a self appointed decree,
"Judge not by what's viewed as beast nor beauty...
for having such thoughts is a mind off duty."

 Until they understand this, they will never be free.
They'll be too worried about what others see;
their mind will run rampant... a  spree of negativity,
then they will have created their own internal hostilities.

 So take your judgments, throw them to the sea;

let them drown, dead is where they need to be.
When you feel the urge to judge, take a minute or three...
Judge yourself to the same degree.
