No Applause Poetry
This poem was written on September 3, 1991 at "The Turf Club" in Las Vegas. It reminds me of a poem that I keep called "The Man in the Glass". Perhaps that was the motivation.

The Final Word

Judgment is yours

to make for yourself

although you’ll find

that many will help

When deciding your fate

it’s not they

who condemn or condone

the final word is your own
