NONE OF OUR CONCERN

None of our concern

Our opinion of others.

Given a reprieve

From reprimand for

Doing the bare minimum

Of expectations.

On the lowest tier

Of performance scale, even

Though trust is advanced.

What mean the dark thoughts

Which make our bodies tremble,

And breed our contempt

For another man?

One we deem wrong while other

Offers grace and time

To change. But we view

Such change as empty. Spineless

Is the will we see.

As the substance is

Demanded. Mined from outer

Source, not the inner.

Why coach to amend

Less than stellar efforts, which

To them are okay?

What’s in it for us

To judge and seek reprisal?

Why are we damning?

Failure is ours by

Overlooking their birth rite

Who they really are.

Forget not the lore

Of the Vineyard. Care not of

Mercy imparted.

‘Tis not our concern.

Trust another’s honest toil

For it is their best

At that same moment.

Accept what they have to give.

Rekindle the light.
