Spidey Williams Poet Verse

Now Judge This Book By Its Cover

It’ so sad to SEE,
A REALITY.
That judges a book. By the outside they SEE!
A book is not the only thing they judge! By its outside REALLY.
Mankind judges a man or woman outside BEAUTY!
Instead of judging mankind, by his or her PERSONALITY!
Society has become so PREDICTABLE.
Mankind falls for the opposite sex, because they’re IRRISTABLE.	
So easily UNDERSTOOD.
Yet I don’t UNDERSTAND!
Why is it important what you see on the outside? Of any being woman or MAN!
If what you see, is what you GET.
Is always what you get, always what you SEE?
I don’t believe this is true, or at least not in this SOCIETY!
Everyone knows on the other side, the grass is not always more GREEN!
When you are not standing in the picture, it always SEEMS,
To be that much better, than that which you HAVE!
So why try to hold or covet something you WANT?
Or maybe it’s that WHICH,
You WISH,
To have, but CAN”T!
So you desire and SCHEME!
Trying to get, or reach another’s DREAM,
Through another’s DREAM!
If what you get, is not always what you SEE.
And what you see is not always what you get, how can this BE?
Is this then a dream world, or a world of DREAMS?
Is this a world of dreams? Or is this our REALITY!
What will it take for people to SEE?
That it’s not always what you SEE!
Although, we see we are sometimes BLINDED.
Blinded by our expectations and PERCEPTIONS!
Blinded by our impurities, from our own REFLECTIONS! 
Blinded by, other’s so called PERFECTIONS!
It’s my job to help you DECIDE.
Will you continue to judge mankind or this book by its cover! Or finally will you 
take a look INSIDE!
