Shirks and Smirks

We are all being put to the test

Careful, those who judge

That you aren’t being tested for conceit

Careful, those who are fortunate

That you aren’t tested for pride

And those of plenty and so much more

Careful, that you aren’t being tested for greed

What right do you have to be our measure?

Of myriad sufferings and circumstance

So unlike and un-liked by you

With supercilious contempt and dismissal

Careful, this could be your ultimate test

To gauge where your conscience bid rest.

Cheung-Ling Wong
