Observer (Free verse) by Dovina

I observe a mind with facets watch its anger swell and dwindle see its joy flap high, then flounder inhale a smile while passions kindle Detached and free to lend critique I watch an actor come of age capture each new scene in wonder can’t wait to turn the page Through all, I do not tamper play moralist or God for that would cut my pleasure and make this poem a wad

"When I truly become present without judgment, serene acceptance and deep contentment follow."

Of course you feel contented. You've deliberately chosen to ignore all your failings in exchange for peace of mind. If observing without judgment isn't divorcing oneself from responsibility, then what is it? It's judgment that separates decent, hardworking people from cockneys. If everyone went around serenely accepting themselves, the incentive for correcting dysfunctional behaviour would have to come from outside. Clearly you aren't old enough to live in anything other than a nanny state. Quite frankly, I'm ashamed of you.
