The Alchemy of Truth Includes the Lens

The alchemy of truth may be from a particular perspective or colored by youth and sprinkled with objective For your truth can hold your own view your lens through which you see the world And naivety can lead astray and reality fall subject to that doom And you may not have the ability yet to completely read the room When you don't have wisdom You have less fear and conclusions are reached quickly But life is so much more complex and taken in context its sticky Was that what was really meant or did it happen by chance Was it deliberate inference or laid out by happenstance Most times most things are not architected they happen in real time whim And though the outcome can be devastating the creation is less of a sin What leads to what and how can that happen isn't always clear to see the cause and effect And so truth be known, good intentions implode and things go off track on their own So don't hang the actors with the act they alone did not write the script, it's a fact Life is all improv with a heavy dose of chaos And giving to much credence to the feelings caused can ruin what may be right there A living pachinko machine that happened to play out that way, this time, here The alchemy of truth includes the lens - Artimus 9/24/23 (C) Susan Manley
