Alternative Reality

Beyond the blinkered known 
Myriad realities brew, 
Not defined exclusively 
By all you know or knew. 
To get beyond yourself, 
See past the tainted sight, 
Accept the possibility 
Others see different light. 
Sure, there is safety in dogma, 
But chances soon get blown, 
So realise, the beholder's eyes 
Are not yours and yours alone.
