Past Is Our Rule

Let us condemn the bullies and
Let us pity the cutters,
Let us hate all our haters and
Let us outcast the muggers. But
Before we do that, before we make judgements,
Let us understand who we judge so that
We're adequate judges. Before we
Make minds, let us ask to ourselves;
Had we lived the same lives
- Had we trudged the same Hells -
Would we make the same choices or
Trip down other wells? And if you say
You'd do different, then judge all you like,
But judge knowing this; that by fact
You're a fool,
For our past is what makes us,
Our past is our rule.
