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
