Do Not Judge My Chains!
Do Not Judge My Chains: A Life Circle and Special Poem of Hope: About Love and Not Judging Others; by Pearldiver. It's amazing how we are not always right in our preconceived ideas of someone; especially if we ignore our own faults. This is all about a guy whose friend, a girl, is someone who never learned how to not be judgmental of others. In him, she finds that he knows her inner self better than she does. As a result, he spares nothing in telling her of her shortcomings, her coldness and her needs to change, if she wishes to find love. She listens to him and the more she understands him; the more open she becomes to understanding herself.
For him, he gets to show both her and himself that he is not going to allow himself to be controlled by the perceived chains that others use to judge him. To do this he must firstly have is friend change the way that she looks at him and have her look honestly at herself. For the first time then, complete honesty takes them to a level of friendship that neither could foreseen. Love is a hard subject to write about when the words just want to ride off the page and follow the heart given them by the author. I hope that I have held them here, without chains, just long enough for you to read and enjoy! So please enjoy: 'Do Not Judge My Chains' by Pearldiver.
Please Note: To Appreciate this poem please read it at a slow pace - hahaha - it was written slowly!

Chains He's Forced To Wear.
Do Not Judge Any Man By The
Do not judge any man by the chains he wears
For he may be your next husband’s lover
Do not judge any stranger, or think you are that wise
For he may be your unknown father
Perhaps a brother or your nemesis perhaps
Standing here before you; within his chained disguise
Can you hear the tears of a mute man?
Do you even care to try?
Because, you speak of caring
You speak of love
But you never feel; or learned, what it is to cry
Do not judge others by your sense of order
For all people were not made so to be
Do not judge my heart with such detachment
For my friendship is not merely a placebo for your pain
Such hurtful feelings fall hard, like raining acorns
Their echoes lost; to falseness they can not dent
Can you describe colors to a blind child?
Do you sense the depth of blue?
Because, you speak of wisdom
You speak of love
But you take away chance; its chance to grow in you
Do you even understand your expectations?
Foolish prejudged values, measured only by you
Do you even know what being in love is, at all?
For those seeds you sowed, fell on fertile ground
As you searched for perfection; true flawlessness
High standards we’ll never find in you; as you’re not that tall
Can you say words only deaf friends could hear?
Do you know how to sign “I care?”
Because, you speak of truth
You speak of love
But in you, these things; in you, they just aren’t there!
So do not judge the chains that you feel I wear
Even though you may think, you know me well
Look at yourself from within the soul that I can see
Find the emptiness where humility is meant to be
Look at the hollow space within your unloving heart
Then find in your heart reason, to become judgment free
So can you be taught how to walk by a crippled man?
Can you believe that he found love in you?
Because, you spoke of dancing
You gave him hope
But he won’t understand it, if you don’t learn, how to be true
Now others will judge you by all the steps and moves you make
Can you learn to love without judging broken chains?
Because, he speaks of forever
And speaks of loving you
In love he can dance endlessly and in love maybe learn, to walk again

Hi Someway, thanks for reading this work and your awesome comments. But isn't writing thought provoking poetry the main reason why we write poems Someway? Hahaha I'll have to do one on motorbike bees, from the bees perspective perhaps? You Take Care..
Hi Pearldiver,
I loved the words and the pics. They go beautifully together to show your heart. Take Care and thank you for the great read. :)
Hi there Whikat, Thank you for reading this poem of hope. I'm glad you appreciated it's composition. I enjoyed writing it. Take Care and cheers.
Beautiful! Thank you Pearldiver! Very nicely done!
Me and alternate poet like this one :) With my critical hat on - I think it might benefit from shortening a bit - but then I have a short attention span so it might justbe me :D
Always good to see poetry online. Thanks, Pearldiver!
Hi there Sir Micky, I feel honored by your compliments. Thank you so much for them and for reading my poems of hope, written in the hope that they would be complimented as such.. Wow.. Take Care Man.
Hi China Man and AP, thanks for reading this work and for.. ummmm... doing so with your pointy critic's hat on.. hahaha.. Perhaps you are right that yes, I could have shortened this poem for your little attention span... and yes, I did seriously consider that!! But.. had I done so, I would have had to cut the bottom off one of my long pics, just to balance and compensate for your damn lack of focus!! Hahaha.. Have a good one mate!
Hi Doc Snow, Thanks for taking the time to take the time and read this work. I hope you enjoyed the theme of the poem. Congrats to you Sir for your recent milestone.. Well done.. believe me, the next 10,000 come a lot quicker Doc. You Take Care.
I liked your poem. made me think out-loud.
Cheers
Hi always exploring, thank you for reading this poem. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I do appreciate the fact that I have not published a disclaimer here; but I take absolutely no responsibility for any short, medium or long term damage caused as a result of thinking out-loud! :) You Take Care.
Oh dear. Must the judged and controlled become the judger and controller?
It's beautifully written & presented, but the premise bears examination, in my humble opinion.
Hi Nellieanna, thanks for taking the time to read this. While I appreciate your comments, I don't think there's anything humble about your opinion here! "But the premise bears examination, in my humble opinion! What sort nasty snake remark is that on my page? From another poet - interesting intimation!
Nellieanna.. You completely misrepresent this work and yourself with such a snigger! Oh dear? Oh Dear Indeed! This is MY Writing Style... If you consider it to be Sub-Standard in some Respect - then thats your call.. but don't Judge My Work and Then Mark It by Your Standards On My Page Thank you very much!! Did you Not pick up that within the premise? Take Care. It is amazing alright how often we do evaluate people wrongly.. I initially thought you to be a nice person!
I am a nice person, Pearldiver, my opinion is humble and I respect and admire your work as I said.
I belive this to be superb poetry and I like everything about it from the idea and all the twists and implications (philosophical and practical) to the artistic form of it.
Hello Petra, Thank You for that. This poem was written to be read line by line - slowly! That makes the complete difference.. short of putting music to the words.. I don't know how to show my readers the pace and pulse of the poem. Given the words, isn't that ironic? Thank you for honoring my poetry with the very good eye, tempo and wisdom of a great poet - which of course you are! Take Care.. and Be Well Petra.
As always, beautiful!
Do you know how to sign “I care?” - guess the answer to that is all that matters!
Hi Shalini, thanks for reading this poem and your kind comment. Nicely said. So many just choose not to bother talking to others in this world. As a kiwi.. we talk to everyone.. it doesn't matter what color or how many arms you have.. we are just like that and find it hard to understand why the rest of the world doesn't communicate like us. And signing... of course. See? I'm talking too much now... Take care.
A well written poem. Good advice. Thanks
Hi 'Squirrelchaser' thanks for reading this poem of hope and for taking the time to comment. I'm pleased you enjoyed it.. Cheers
Well, while I have never been a huge fan of long poems, I admit that is my preference not a fault on the writer's behalf. But this wasn't a long poem to me...I took your advice "read slowly...it was written slowly.." and realized to me it is several short poems sharing a common thread and goal. Well done!! I am new to hubpages, and have many questions about posting and safeguarding my work. If it isn't too much of a bother would you mind giving me a few pointers, or point me in the general direction to answers. Thank you in advance. -Paul
Hello Paul, thank you for reading this work and for following the key to understanding the context of the poetry. You are quite right, it was written that way for that very reason.. well done. All the best here, Take Care.
This poem had me captured on your page for awhile. Great work. I feel I've been on both sides of these ones.
Hi LVidoni, thanks for taking the time to read this poem of hope and for your compliment. I'm glad that you enjoyed this work. Clearly having had experience of situations like this, then I'm sure you have been able to rise above many negative influences others would use to hold you down. Good luck - don't look back and take care.
Miss PearlDiver, You are a true and gifted poet! Your words melted my soul today. This is in my top ten poems I have read. Wonderfu! Voted up and shared!!!
Hello AudraLeigh, thank you very much, for your kind and positive words, though I fear I may have 'Miss-ed' much in my life as a man.. hahaha.. I'm glad that you enjoyed my poetry and I appreciate your support and obvious great taste in poems :) .. cheers.. take care.
