Pass me by

What ya lookin at down your long nose
thinkin I ain't been there before
judgin my clothes way I dress like I failed
the test booted out of the context of normal
life in society takin the offense at my lack of defense
for havin a hand out as ya pass by
Don't need a judge, keep your verdict
If I ain't worth it pass me by.
You think this is a choice like what would you choose
Walkin this way droppin out of life letting prosperity skip
by head and eyes draggin pavement for lack of
consent to be able to engage in life as you know it
not for lack of tryin' the uphill swim against the
current of circumstance poured out my way
Don't need a judge, keep your verdict
If I ain't worth it pass me by
Ya want my story are ya kiddin me ya won't
even look at me like a cap a can dropped without
thinking by the wayside nothin inside of value
that would be worth keepin you only interferin in
your going to and fro from lunch and home lest
you look in my eyes and see the real me starin
down on you from above hanging on a tree
stretched out tight in the name of love
Don't need a judge, keep your verdict
If I ain't worth it pass me by
Careful what you look at,
Can't hide from the truth you'll see inside
You want a judge, want me to keep my verdict
If you ain't worth it, pass me by

These are beautiful--- thought provoking, challenging, reassuring, and spirit filling posts. I've just read thru them quickly now, and look forward to time in days to come to savor them and roll them around in my soul. Thank you Dcn Frank.

This needs to be a song, put to music.
