Trash Day

Trash day
Let’s throw out some garbage!
Here’s some

Judging by superficial appearance
Anger at foolish actions
(when we don’t know whose day was a bad)
Judging by bank accounts
and stock portfolios
Oh, there’s more!
This whole Judging thing
It’s all mixed up and tied together
All the “isms”
Prejudices
(that’s literally pre-judging)

Tie them all up in a hefty bag
and toss them out

Hey
Where’d those labels go?
“RACE”
“SEX”
“RELIGION”
“GENDER”
“POOR”
“NAKED”
“RICH”
“HOMELESS”
“CELEBRITY”

Oh
They went out with the garbage
Now what?
New labels?
Hmmm
Let’s try something different
Talking
Observing
Listening

Oooooh, this is hard!
But we’ve already tossed out judgment
and its labels
Don’t go back there!
We’re all just human now

I could get used to this
I’m starting to like it!

What do you think?
Shall we take out some trash
and burn it up
with love joy peace?

Yeah
Let’s do it!
