Perspective is the root of everything
All flowers of opinion
Bloom from their subjective roots
Roots that can always be sown
What more could a writer ask for
Than to change a readers perspective
A small shift in the way they perceive
An adopted opinion, becoming respective
Perspective cannot be sown
Except through words
Therefore a writer has incredible power
With every shift in recollected record
A shift in view
That makes the reader
Deeply think through
The words conferred
Maybe a soft laugh
Maybe a sly smile
Maybe a twinkle in the eye
Maybe a lingering thought that lasts a while
Again, what more could a writer ask for
Than to change a readers perspective
A small shift in the way they perceive
An adopted opinion, becoming respective
What if Adam ate the forbidden fruit
And blamed it on Eve
The possibility of that being true
Is high, because, after all
Men have the adam’s apple
Stuck in their throat, proof to us all
What if the devil wasn’t made with horns
What if those horns were once a halo
Snapped in half by sin
Turned sharp, and left to grow
What if treehouses are graveyards
Not the joy of a kid
But the grief of a kind
For a tree holds his dead cousin
While humans blindly climb
What if the stars
Are simply holes punched
In the container afar
So we breathe, so we aren’t crushed
Hearts keep us alive
They are responsible for love
For kindness, for romantic drive
But yet, intentionally caged
By our ribs inside,
They are culprit of the corrupt outside
Loving a rose is easy
It’s ordinary to love the beautiful
But loving a leaf is odd
It’s beautiful to love the ordinary
A pawn is weak
A queen is strong
But in the end
The pawn can respawn
The sun it great
But it brightens the bright
I’d rather be the moon
And brighten someone’s night
Promises shouldn’t break
Promises should hold ties
But promises are simply words
Worse than words, promises are the sweetest lies
Adventure is dangerous
Adventures can kill
But routine is far worse
Routine makes you still
No room for growth
No change of opinion
Yes, no danger
But also no freedom
Again, what more could a writer ask for
Than to change a readers perspective
A small shift in the way they perceive
An adopted opinion, becoming respective
