Analysis of Just Some Perspectives
Just Some Perspectives ©

Funny how anyone who has know bias in life
Can spew hate filled words as sharp as a knife
Forget a long history replete with derision
And manifest cruelty in every decision
I see it today at every turn
It makes my vintage spirit angry and burn
To make others suffer for just being true
To their genuine selves in this red, white and blue
Well I have no solutions, No remedy nor cure
All I can do is open the door
To compassion, to inclusion
Be as peaceful as a dove
And direct all my energy
To kindness and love
