Give Peace a Chance
When you look in these eyes, what is it if anything do you see?
When my words are spoken do they make you think, or do you not take a second glance?
The fact that i care, should or does it make you think I AM WEAK?
Are you better maybe more important than the eyes that stare back?
Why must you take the time to think of everything i write?
Do my words weigh more power than your thoughts?
Is it possible that you are confused and not positive of the contents of this poem?
Take a second glance of all i have put on your shoulders.
Read & reread what has been written.
Think and rethink all that bounces in your mind.
Do not answer any questions that you see,
for the answers that you seek are not asked in this rhyme.
But none the less guidelines for the week.
This was not meant to confuse or break you down.
But more the less push you to see all that should be seen.
This one time take that second glance..............
AND TAKE THIS POEM AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE!
