Analysis of Gain Perspective
When we gain perspective about power of choice
we have a new elective
to employ and voice
When we gain perspective about malice of harm
we have a new corrective
to pity and charm
When we gain perspective about grimace of grin
we have a new objective
to succeed and win
When we gain perspective about conquest of coup
we have a new invective
to disgorge and spew
When we gain perspective about pursuit of wealth
we have a new connective
to fitness and health
When we gain perspective about what matters most
we have a new directive
to relax and coast
