As a Grain of Salt

Eyes wants what it wants, the heart wants what it feels,
the ears hear what it wants to hear,the mind believes what wants to know. 
Just because it seems, what it really seems,
doesn't make it what is so, for it to be definitely truthfully, hopefully so.

Take what is seen, from what is seen, take what is felt, from what is felt,
the words from what is spoken, to be what is spoken, the truth belief of what is thought, to be not what it ought, and put it to a halt.
Because sometimes what is sometimes expected, 
by the unexpected, should therefore be taken, as a grain of salt.
