People are so quick to criticise
what they see through their eyes.
But they never seem to see,
they have the same faults as me
They never admit they've done wrong
and talk as though they are strong.
Never admitting to your own mistake
makes you a cop out and a fake.
Before thinking bad of someone else
try taking a good look at yourself.

Good point
Very well written indeed; and a lot more straight-forward than my ramblings on the same subject. I'm glad I'm not the only one to have addressed this topic.

Judge:
This would be perfect for my contest if it had punctuation. If you will punctuate it correctly, I will put it in the finals.

This was a really good poem..
It was very heartfelt and so very true as well..
Many tend to criticise others before they would ever consider to truly look at themselves..
I really loved this.. you did a wonderful job..
Best of luck..

tight and true
without faults? not human then. without sin then cast the first stone and all that stuff. Scanned well and was complete in itself. Kind of a nutshell - yep, go girl! -
Excellent work!!!
Jennifer, This is so true, people are quick to judge without realizing that they hold the same faults. I have come to learn and it took a long time. LOL
Ok, so I can be hard headed at times too. 
You should always step back and look at yourself before criticizing anyone else for what they do or say. You really hit the nail on the head with this one.
Glad to see you were here and my best wishes for a sunny day to you my friend. Thank you for sharing with all of us. Excellent work here.
