I see a flash of black go past
Its his Amerian Express card.
And just like that within that instant
I judge him.
Hes a rich kid,
spoiled maybe an only child.
But I know nothing of him.
I can't see the bruises,
though long faded from his skin still linger on his heart.
I can't,
In that split second know who he is.
I can't watch him and know the things he's been through.
And you know what?
Neither can you.

The author's comments:
One day, while talking to my friends I realized how quickly people jump to conclusions about others and how wrong those conclusions can be.

This is BEAUTIFUL! It totally sends the message of never judging someone you don't know.
