And Who's Who to Judge Me, You, Him Her Us Them or Bobby McGee?

by Paul Nachbar

And who is really there who is fully competent to judge anyone for anything?
And with what transcendent, time honored, elite or democratic
Credentials or expertise or authority are they capable of objectively and fairly doing such in and place and time?

Somebody's mother, somebody's father?
Somebody's wife, somebody's husband
Somebody's mistress gigolo sex slave whore fiancee spouse
Somebody's daughter , somebody's son?
Somebody's granddaughter or somebody's grandson?
Somebody's great grand daughter or somebody's great grandson?
Somebody's brother somebody's sister
Somebody's uncle or aunt or great uncle or aunt
Somebody's niece or nephew
Somebody's cousins first, second or beyond that, however much removed.

Somebody with zero shares of stock in The Company or perhaps
Somebody with a hundred million shares of stock in The Company?

Somebody's boss, somebody's manager, somebody's caretaker,
Somebody's doctor, somebody's nurse, somebody's therapist,...
Somebody's "friend" or friend? Somebody's teacher, somebody's
Superior officer, somebody's advisor......somebody's co worker,
Somebody's attorney, somebody's subordinate..

Somebody who is a carbon based life form or somebody who is a silicon
based life form a mixture or the two or other?

A medical doctor or scientist of any merit could trace this one back or forward in space and time with virtuousity
Emphasizing the uracil and guanine and adenine and thiamine
And ignoring the emotionality and sentimentality
What people imagined, feared, hoped for, dreamed, read about,
Considered, acted upon, believed, said and thought
Or whatever shards or shreds we have for what was said or thought or felt
Or done. and how that was evaluated.
The battles from the smallest to the largest which were fought about
The different evidence, points of view
What at times they lived and died for.

Although despite all seeming imperfections you may see in me, and the trillion trillion
Trillion trillion trillion that I also find in myself - I was honored
By my cousin Phillip back in the early 1980's with the title of godfather
To his baby daughter who since then has grown and become a woman
A teacher a person in her own right.
No contract written down you understand, just a promise:
If anything happened, i would take care of the daughter
Or should I say in some measure the daughters and the sons...?
I will honor that.

Paul the Godfather
