Judge Me Right For I am Human.

By Ogiri John Ogiri. 

I am human

I am fallible 

I am not unmindful 

Of my own human frailty 

This I know too well

So when I falter

Judge me with kindness.

I am a student, 

A diligent student 

In the university of life

I do not feign ignorance 

Of the limit of my knowledge 

But knowing that I know little, 

I seek more knowledge 

So when I fall into errors

And I do so often,

Judge me with wisdom. 

I am a traveller, 

A pilgrim on a path to progress, 

I barely know all the roads to my destination 

But I make efforts not to miss my way

However, when I do miss my way

And suffer a fall into a terrain of jeopardy, 

Judge me with genuine sympathy. 

For I am human with a gourd 

Of imperfections tied to my chest.

I am human 

I am vulnerable 

I do not have the privileges 

Of having everything 

So I am susceptible 

To asking for help

And when I do ask for help

Judge me with love and charity. 

Judge me genuinely.

I am human 

A vigilant citizen of this world

I live among vulnerable people 

I do not have the courage 

To pretend not to see their needs 

So I am willing to give of myself 

If I ever get the chance 

But when I am blessed to give

And I eventually give 

Judge me with an attitude of gratitude.

Suitable only for human.

For I am human.
