Judge not a man by his origins,
The banks and borders he called home,
Before he came to where you saw him,
Before he from that place did roam.
It’s not our point of origin,
Not old country nor outer creed,
That decides the worth of earth’s traveler,
Nor even present movements or deeds.
Which way is his nose pointed?
If he were (he’s far more) a hound,
You’d know by the set of his head.
The direction his heart is bound.
Judge not a man by his home,
Judge by where he’s going,
Judge by exerted efforts,
Judge by his daily toiling. – eab, 4/01
