Chula Schlesinger-Fleming Poet Rhyme

Faulty Perceptions

                        Release the world from your faulty perceptions,
                      And all the threatening things you believe it to be.
                        We see the world through our own tinted lenses.
                    Only the things we look for, are the things that we see.

                        When we question the origin of misguided beliefs,
                          They cannot hold up to scrutiny’s piercing gaze.
                       When exposed, they cauterize our gaping wounds by
                    Forgiving the sins, releasing the pain in a glorifying blaze.

                                        The devil is in the details.
                             It's a house of cards built on shifting sand.
                                    Release one false belief and let 
                               The rest collapse in your trembling hand.
