nothing like a blank page in front of you
and being asked which side is the back

a choice so simple
taken for granted

if one day you were told you wrote on the back side of a blank page and were flunked out of class

throwing in the towel you hear someone ask as you leave....

why is there white out on the computer screen?

and you just want to SCREAM!!!!

like a blind carbon copy that no sees,
no my ink isn't white the background is black!

it's perception,
you see it your way
and I will see it my way too

like the blind leading the blind home
and getting lost less then you

and the blind never have to ask

which way is up!

There is no up!  We're all stuck here in the same hole, and so very few of us realize the role perception actually plays upon us.  We are being taught & told what we have to believe daily, but the day we give up thinking for ourselves, is the day we've truly lost.  When everyone else is screaming, the silent voice tends to be the one most knowing.
