Thinking is difficult, that's why most people judge,
It's easy to form impressions, that's why I don't think much,
Before shooting the acerbic reply, responding to the apparent slight,
I've already gotten into the position, battling as to what is right.
In my mind it's crystal clear, that the other person is wrong,
My facts are more than solid, his opinions bull-headed and strong.
What is left is to persuade, how he is at fault and why,
Or to label him close-minded, and about stubbornness cry.
In the split second between, tweet and reply,
I know whether you are on my side, or you distort and lie.
And whether this will degenerate, in a name-calling slug fest,
Both sides convinced the other's a fool- only they know the best.
Judging is easy and comforting, it's also fast and automatic,
But if you think from another's perspective, the results are truly majestic.
