Perspectives

 

There are times when we need to draw perspectives

to adjust our thoughts, views and opinions

To peer down a tunnel with blinkered sight

is to lose any sense of reality or normality

We are too quick to judge and fall victim to errors

when quiet reflection can sober our thoughts

and cleanse those cerebal cavities

Those who seek fame and wealth are always with us

but who are these but empty vessels of self destruction

What will they be remembered for but their self ego

when better men and women receive no acclaim

The humble recruit who died in the trenches

sits on a pedestal above any celebrity or stardom

Let us contemplate quietly our experience of life

and see anew the world we think we know

but really don't.
