It's All About Perspective

Just to warn, this poem may be offensive to some of you. It's really just about questioning reality and if what I see is true or not.

 

What is right? What is wrong?

Obvious as it may seem, for me it is not

It’s all about perspective

Heaven or hell

Good or bad

Right or wrong

There is no real answer to me

Who are we to judge what is right and wrong

It’s all about perspective

Yes, rape is wrong, but what about the rapist?

The rapist will not think it wrong, so is it truly wrong?

Yes to me it is, but …

Even if majority agree… does not make it true

It’s all about perspective

If the wrong is not in the eyes of the sinful, is it really sinful?

Is there truly sin, is there truly wrong?

I would respond “It depends on the situation”

Never choosing a side

It’s all about perspective

Does God really exist?

It’s all about perspective

I would respond “I don’t know, I haven’t died before”

According to some religions I will go to hell or someplace not-so-good

For not believing in God

For not believing in Hell

For not going to church

For killing bugs

For thinking of sex

For taking revenge

It’s all about perspective

Some have a strong sense of what they think is right and wrong

Good or bad

True or false

I do not

But, I am open to hear your perspective

It’s all about perspective

Killing a baby is wrong

But what of the situations?

How do we truly know what is true, right, good?

How do we truly know what is bad, false, wrong?

It’s all about perspective

I see we live in a materialistic world

Beauty…

Low jeans, tight shirts

Young naïve

Big breasts

Small waste

Never eating

Painted face

Ugly…

Fat, old

High jeans baggy, sagging shirts

Sagging breasts

Oily pimply faces

Average

I see ugly is what normal people look like

I see beauty is what plastic surgeons do

I feel ugly

I feel stupid, all do to TV

Ugly has nothing, beauty has everything

Money equals happiness

It’s all about perspective

Why am I alive? What is the purpose of my existence?

To simply live? To go to hell for being faithless?

To not exist again, like before I was made?

Why are things done the way they are?

Why do we harm the planet so?

Why do we close our minds to change?

It’s all about perspective

I would say “It’s simply beyond our human minds to completely understand”

But…. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try

It’s all about perspective

My eyes do not see like yours

I want to try

I want to know

To understand

War, sex, lies, death, disease, loss, failure, drugs, abortion, religion, terrorism, life…

It’s all about perspective

You cannot see through my eyes completely

But, you can try

I can try

We can try

It’s all about perspective

To me, this world will never be completely…

Peaceful

Understood

Fully seen

Complete

Too different we are from one another

Lives guiding our paths

Life, death

Good, bad

Truth, lie

Heaven, Hell

Sane, insane

Full, empty

Reality, illusion

I see through my eyes, as you do yours

Never will we all see eye to eye

But we can try

It’s all about perspective……
