What Do I See

As I awake what do I see The beauty of nature set in front of me What do I see I see violence and inequality Displayed in plain sight for all to see What do I see I see the world in utter chaos And me being a descendant of ADOS What do I see I see the news full of lies and deceptions So what I see may be different from your perspective What I see Is my surroundings changing drastically I see a pandemic running rampantly So what I see is a world in a great divide Also I see tribulation in my trying times What else I see is the unrest and turmoil What I see alot of things to make my blood boil But that's enough yapping from me With that being said now what do you see?

WoW! Bette, What a powerful and relevant write. Everything is so in one’s face that it’s impossible not to see. I see all those things too, but our perceptions of what we see differ. With that being said, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that what’s going on worldwide isn’t right. If I choose to let all the negativity that I see get to me, I will go insane. So I intentionally change my lenses. Excellent write. It's so good to see you. Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones:-) Alexis
