Notes About The Poem

Red Or Blue

Living a 3D technology 
in our visual world of reality 
where one is so much less without the other
Two realities side by side
in it’s depths we came alive
seeing through each lens of a different color
 
Now it seems we’ve fallen flat
stabbed dimension in the back
as traders for a pair of a different view
Now a pair means both the same
distorting reality through it’s frame 
so, either we see red, or we see blue 

Balance left our field of dreams 
with only one eye open, it seems
where half the people we all know and love
would turn their backs in angry pride
on those who see the other side
now enemies upon their choice there of

In a world where everyone knows it all
waiting and baiting the other side’s fall
based on all they think is true and right 
Our two realities side by side
fueled by lies and poisonous pride 
stay colorblind, corrupting everyone’s sight

The color of red and the color of blue
are likely the ones used defining you
but what if you’re not what they think they see?
How can you ever change the mind
of those whom choose to be colorblind 
and live confined from the vision of liberty ?

I pray someday within this maze 
the sun will rise through a purple haze
to cast a royal light upon the face
of seekers of bridges where canyons divide
apart from the crags of the rocks where we hide
to build a world upon amazing grace

Daniel Turner April 27, 2021 at 8:49 PM Well Jeannie, it sounds good in theory but like you say "It's a visual world of reality". Which in my mind means partiality. Seeing it on the news and living it are two totally different things. As long as we get a different story on a different channel this is the way it will always be. We are all alike and yet so different. If your looking for peace, I suggest a walk in the woods or in your case along the beach. Love your beautiful vision:)
