LOOK SLANT AND SEE NEW VIEW

take not at face value  
look slant and see new view   
truth may be hard to find
and half-truths leave you blind   
trust not what first you see
let your mind wander free
sixth sense may shine a light
on things that not seem right   
some face values deceive
to lead you to believe   
belief is not knowing   
and often misleading   
look slant and see new view
take not at face value.

Many thanks Terry. Perhaps some lateral thinking rather than all vertical may broaden our minds..
