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?
