Some of the most important things aren't seen
objectively, the same by all who look,
for what or who a person is or 's been,
affects what they perceive, and then what's hooked,
and taken off with them to other spots.
In short, each person is themselves a lense,
each group of persons magnifies a lot
(some way) together, more than one would sense.
You prob'ly know yourself that in one group,
a certain topic cannot even be
addressed, much less discussed, they wouldn't stoop
to well, consider what they couldn't see.
So in a sense the kind of kindness shown
to topics I don't feel so com-f'ta-ble
considering in groups, or on my own,
is critical to what's then possible
within the world that I'm creating by
each coice I make to entertain a thought
and too how faithful I will be to my
commitments, not just comforts - what is sought.
Not sought so much, by what we say we want,
but sought as seen in actions that we do.
And too, the folk we hang with, come & gone
to spread fidelity to what is true.
A marriage of both truth and kindness too,
that isn't just a "caving in" - for now,
but thinking of the over-alls that do
the long term job, that work for good, somehow.
