Perspective Lyrics

Perspective

Life is how you look at it, from serene to sporadic, comic or tragic, suicidal or simply

Stuck in traffic

Outlook intercepts reality, and paradigms shift in tacit compliance to perceived reality

Understand, perception does not always equal reality

You see, it's almost like a science, depending on what lens you use or results you choose

To analyze life

Our views find their genesis jumping off the preconceived petri dish of prior prejudice

It's just the way I see it, said the blind man, who was unable to listen, unqualified

To make an intelligent decision, absent of the ability to be informed and avoid collision

My mama said, you ain't got all the sense, baby

Not even maybe

See, we look straight out of our own two eyes into someone else's, but fail to realize that

Something's missing

And that's understanding

They looking out of theirs, and we're looking out of ours

They have their own, but we think they should have ours

Understanding is ever expanding as well as commanding of our attention

However, truth does not solely reside in yours, your understanding

Therefore, insight should have revolving doors, like a returning tide gently crashing upon Sandy shores

It's show and tell, not argue and compel, debate and dwell, share, not sell

Well, life is how you look at it

There are positive and negative elements around at all times, like convenience stores

And what you focus on will inevitably influence yours

Focal points help frame minds, aka frame of mind

So pleasant things don't seem like chores or crimes

Perception is the process of how you perceive and retrieve information, believe, then conceive revelation

If one does not see the bigger picture, then one's perspective is limited

We grasp merely a piece of the puzzle and confuse our perspective as limitless

Our potential is, but unfortunately, our attempts at observing it would be quite frivolous if

We don't let ourselves look at life positively to steer clear of stress and through several

Different vantage points

But alas, I digress

Proverbs 21 in two states, every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord

Ponder at the heart

Personal inventory is what I'd advise, but me is where I start

The skies within my art, we see, but only in part

We see, but only in part

My perspective is like the black ink that drips down the inside of my black and white

Round bic pen pointed at the page this poem was originally contained in

Mine, my perspective is mine

And now I'm sharing it with you

Remember, if you listen, it makes it easier for others to listen to you
