Basically I am transferring my more useable Poems, Ditties, Verse and Odes to this Blog. Some people might want to read them and some might not? But for me personally its a little venture through Memory Lane and somewhere to store them too. By Sam

 

This one though is a New Poem evoked by a picture that had been posted on FB a week or so ago.  A woman sitting on her own on a bench, her stomach hanging below her smock top - she wasn't bothering anyone, she obviously (I assume) has some issues or maybe not, who am I to judge.  What is it everyone says these days "don't give in to bullies, be proud of who you are, you are beautiful inside, be yourself"??? AND YET someone posts a picture on FB of a Lady sitting on a bench doing no-one any harm for all on FB to mock, stare at and judge!!!
 

 

When something affects me my brain starts to think in Rhyme it may not be life changing stuff but it is real, observational, and mostly it rhymes?

 

Who are you to Judge!

Who are we to stop and stare

at that fat lady sitting there

did you think, she could possibly be,

a nicer person than you or me?

 

Who are you to judge her so

did you ask permission to mock her though ?

did you say please smile and suck it in

should you have just put this photo in your IOS Bin?

 

Before you judged did you stop to see

what her  future life or past may be?

Oh how rude of that Photographer there

to encourage us all to stop and stare!

 

Did she stare at you

was she rude, obnoxious or unkind?

Did you turn the camera back on yourself

and if so, what did you find???
