What do you see

You look at me and see a reflection of an image

An image based on assumption

Assumption based on stereotype

A stereotype based on insecurities


I look at you and see a person

A person with a unique life

A life with a complicated past

A past with a promising future

 

We look at each other

You judge I wonder

very well written and thought provoking. i really enjoyed this. thanks.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
