Wearing Blinders


Finding the beauty in life can be
somewhat difficult, when walking
around with blinders on.

It’s said that there’s beauty in
everything upon the face of the
earth, but only if looked upon
with eyes clear of  judgment.

Fore -thought can be priceless
to the one beholding the prize.
Souls desiring to claim ownership
without clear insight lack the
wisdom to perceive the truth.

Choices made will determine
our life’s course, and with the
knowledge gained through
experience we build a solid
foundation of or own truths
and wisdom.

The beauty beheld by one can be
claimed as false to another, but
the truth is that it’s in the eye of
the behold. One mans truth is
another mans false hood.

So before you judge your fellow
man make sure you are not
lacking clear insight and ample
knowledge of what you claim, for
lack of wisdom can be your
stumbling block, hence you
wear blinders.
