The Human Filter - Freewill

The Human Filter (Freewill) There is only, but one, who can see black and white. For the rest of us, it is merely perception. We can hope for glory, but for all is not bright. As many have followed a path of deception Choosing right over wrong, there is only one choice But the answer is not, always easy or clear When intention may be, but you listened to voice Your trusted, Jezebel, is the one you should fear For so many have felt, and their feelings infringed Of a world that’s selfish and derailed from what’s right When even the righteous, have been victims of spin As so many lose faith, I am searching, for light We are human filters; to allow, how we play But the more we filter, we darken the shade; gray Contest: Your best sonnet October1-December31,2017 Sponsor: John Hamilton Original posting: 12/21/2017 Placed Sixth

Jeffrey, so very well stated. When I was growing up so long ago we were taught wisely how to choose between right and wrong, but I don’t think that is the case today. Too many people find it too easy to justify the wrong choice, and our world is becoming a darker shade of gray. Happy holidays to you and yours. John
