The empty ones

People who judge others harshly do so    
to fill the emptiness in their soul    
with words that cut like the bitter pill    
they swallow with their morning coffee    
   
Judging others without understanding    
how utterly stupid and weak they themselves are    
to have to eat the pain they cause others    
just to keep themselves fed    
   
oh empty ones,    
lay down on the cool sweet earth    
spread out your arms and lay flat the hands    
that do no good in this world    
give leave of your poisonous thoughts    
   
feel the vibrato our mother sends out to all her children    
wrap yourself in her brown earth    
and let yourself feel the love from her    
that you are so void of in your own life    
   
give in to her song Oh dark heart    
for there is beauty in your vessel    
though you know not where, nor why, nor how    
   
for you have only known the pain    
your forebears gave to you      
to fill the void their own emptiness brings about    
   
teaching you their charade dance of life    
that says the fruit of others will sustain you    
though the black winters of your life    
   
for you were born surrounded by the dark webs    
they created for you out of their own ignorance    
wrapping you tightly to hide you    
from a light they have never known    
and therefore you have never known    
   
Take my hand and the hands of the many others    
who so willingly, would lead you down the path    
Of true strength and mightiness, sharing with you    
the secrets of true power    
   
The power in giving without taking    
the power in loving without hurting    
the power in crying without being weak    
and the strength it takes to stand on ones own feet    
without having to crush the bones of another.    
   
True Power is having the ability to take from someone, yet not doing so. Power is a choice.  
   
You are not hopeless yet    
   
  (I actually wrote this with someone here in mind) because many people with dark hearts only do so out of pain and out of never having been shown another way besides anger and criticism. There is good in everyone.
