The Importance of the Alternative Perspective

Importance of the Alternative Perspective Contortions of my sentient being Distortions of my inclinations to dream Proportions of truth deciphering what it all means Abortions of opinion as things are not always as they seem Embellishments of truth displayed on the evening news An inelegance that’s uncouth waiting for uncivilised cues An epiphany of untold magnitude seen in awestruck colours of light and hues A litany of criminal activity revealed by a complex set of clues The vibrant laughter of children free from care or thought or sorrow The vagrant daughter of an aristocrat whose forced to beg and borrow The fragrant spice of delicate refine that contemplated living for tomorrow The content found on television devoid of depth and so very hollow Renewed graces of a man given a second chance at living Perused statements of an intellect whose ideas are always giving Confused looks from a stern command who remains perpetually unforgiving The innocent intentions of a naive soul who stakes his fate on wishing An ordained priest of benevolence preaching love to his fellow man The contained feast of eloquence as a poet reaches linguistic highs The engrained yeast of vigilance pacing back and forward as she cries While the deranged beast of malevolence plots an innocent souls demise Should we contain the urge to purge our souls from all this hate ? Or simply refrain to complain at all lest we get locked out of Heavens gate? Can we pertain noble incline in the workings of the human mind? Or is the most essential attribute to remain above all else to be kind?
