Through Different Eyes

THROUGH DIFFERENT EYES: THROUGH DIFFERENT EYES through different eyes, you could see things more clearly through different eyes, you could empathize with the totality if you could only replace the blinders on your own seeing things from only where you stand. Not able to digest the views of the other man. if you could walk in someone else s shoe's, if you would be the dog never getting a bone, if you were facing death at every turn. if you could not fight a man at the age of four, if your past, future and present were the same if you had no safe place in this world to stay, if your color screamed shoot me kill me mistreat me without shame. If you knew you could not survive another day. and you heard some disinterested party callously say. "Get over it" Just for once in your secure and selfish life look twice into another s space and time. try and look and see with different eyes. If you have a heart that is too unwilling- or a spirit bound, this will shorten your sight, and limit your mindless views. and let you only see that which benefits you as true. See the truth that stares you in the face today I am the victim of which the wicked prey Tomorrow you may live to take my place through different eyes, you will see circumstances change. Things concealed will now appear more real. "Clear Visions" is the plight to you which you must appeal. Unless we see life through brand new eyes, The sooner we'll see humankind's demise.
