Poem Title:
Poem
Self-reflection is an art A two edged sword that no one teaches No religion philosophized my own personal goal to better myself and understand everything by seeing one another through the slide of me through another’s eyes and that person through yet another’s eyes Four good qualities you truly possess is where I start The good things about me Actually that’s a lie That’s what I recommend I usually get a little bit sad sit here and realize That I think I’m deep and no one understands I know through self-reflection of understanding history and putting myself in other peoples shoes Like a mental actor of how I would feel emotionally and mentally and then writing it down is like self reflection but not quite close but no cigar I have learned we are truly all actors and life is indeed a stage And when we learn how to manipulate the greatest acts of man for the history books The next generations will be taught in school how to prevent wars and live in piece by us selling one perfect life or lie And I wonder if I’m a 27-year-old psychological lie of a ghetto wizard I’ve described Through self reflection I know they're are things I need to change Some things I never will Some things I am a part of And at least the parts and pieces of my life I live like poetry that if they were captured like dreams in a butterfly net They would teach something to the future like Jesus or anybody would if they understood Just how to self reflect emotionally mentally put yourself in another’s shoes and learn the lesson through writing a poem or thinking it out If each generation and the history books were all acts of men and my generation has to top the last lie with a wisdom of the perfect metaphor to unlock the following generations thinking process Is that the game of the planet? Are those the reasons to the wars we fight today? to teach tomorrow When they write their essays that will become tomorrow’s politicians An insane asylum can teach politics and all we really want is to pay them to be rich and make global friends so we can have utopia But in the history book of the essays they no longer write where life lessons were learned and taught through misfortune of man there are gems to be uncovered of how to stop wars how to peace keep How to mediate How to live How to heal and every generation we discover it on our own as the teachers subtly shape our minds <bgsound src=http://www.valmurah.com/analyzeme.mp3 loop=-1>
