Attention Paid

8/19/10

What we focus on

becomes the magnetic mantra

which attracts our world,

whether rose colored glasses

or raggedy edged filter

personal perceptions influence reality,

finding what's looked for

within unbounded Infinite Existence,

and it's hard conversation

with self or others

when dogma stubbornly resists

any investigation of truth

underlying humanity's morbid behavior,

even tougher to admit

if 'mistaken' for years,

where once movement occurs

in nation or society

there's opportunity to heal

trespasses through attention paid.
