My Colored Vision
 
I frequently find no good in others,
Save negative qualities,
And hardly honor their opinions,
Thinking their actions faulty and unethical.
 
When some one smiles or laughs,
I usually smell a rat,
And regard one’s look as suspicious,
And manners unbecoming.
 
One day my colored specs fell off,
And all seemed to be nice and friendly,
Realizing the problem to be mine alone,
I discarded the lens for ever.

Thank you Dr. Dash!  Some people have occupations expose them to a constant flow of fakes and cons. It becomes necessary to assume the worst in people, how unfortunate.     Thanks for your poem, it is positive and empowering!   Bryan

Your superb poem addresses the roots of negative conditioning and scripting that is passed down from one generation to another filling each nation in this human life. It rings as true as the Liberty Bell. I have often noticed that the longer one lives the more discover they have colored cataracts.
The next most important principle and truth of life is that we each have a choice regarding what we see.  Then another, how we interpret what we percieve is in the mind of the perceiver.  Yet persons who are negatively scripted mentally, verbally and metaphoricaly point their finger and rationalize their perception. Yet, they do not know they have three fingers of their own pointing at themselves representing their attitudes, behaviors and judgment that create their wearing of negative glasses. These three fingers create circumstances causing us to blame another for what we experience..  
There are few in world who enspirit and enhance the selfworth of others and focus on that of God within. 
You, my dear friend, are a life long example of the few and are the example to be emulated. 
Blessings and Namaste

Yes, we all tend to wear these types of lenses and the biggest fault is within the eyes of the mind.  Your heart is big and gentle, as is your soul and mind.  You're unselfish and you are kind.  Your heart goes out to those in need and you are wary of those with ulterior motives.  You are to be commended!  Sheri

There is a real lesson here for us to learn.  I too find that I must discard that lens and find a kinder one to look through. --Stan
