My finger

by Joel Howard

I point at myself

I point at me

I use my finger

Properly

Not pointing at

Who you can be

I use my time

To correct me

I choose to cut

myself off when

I go to curse

Another and

Instead of blaming

Those who see

Much more proper

Righteously

Instead I cancel

Others' sin

Forgive myself

And forgive them

What if I just

Did my part?

Self-inspection

That's my start

To a freedom

I'd have never known

Had I cast long

Judgement on

The friends and foes

Who need me to

Judge them not

Lest You judge me too
