Just For the Record

A record of how it is May suggest how it will be A record of how it was May suggest how you will see In this world of information In this recorded time of day You can review the situation And receive a little say I’d rather not know how it would end Even if history repeats itself again and again I’d rather create something new Then let it dictate to me or you Don’t close your mind to its thoughts Nor your soul to its dreams For it creates what you have meant And that’s been everything to thee

"I’d rather create something new, then let it dictate to me or you" I like this thought very much. It is so true. We are all in control of our thoughts and dreams. Always reach for the stars. ~ Brandy

The last two stanzas seal this beautifully. Very nice James :)

At first I was cheering you on for slamming history for its false recordings, then I cheered for slamming all those on social media who can't tell factual news from editorialized, and then I drifted to the melody of the offering your imagination extended. Now, I thank you for the full ride I just took and thoroughly enjoyed! Blessings ... CayCay
