I wish kept identified all pieces out of place...
I recognize with my own eyes.
And with a doing to investigate,
That which is obvious and in my face.
To take someone else's explanation,
With a doing to satisfy my curiosity and accept...
As I quickly reject to neglect my own perceptions,
Is not respecting this life I've been blessed to live.
Truth and honesty I've never hesitated to give.
I feel it one's accountability not leave 'anything' assumed.
I wish kept identified all pieces out of place,
I recognize with my own eyes.
And with a doing I alone investigate,
That which is obvious and in my face.
With a doing I believe is my obligation and right to do.
And I stay amazed these days,
How my taking responsibility for my own actions...
Often comes to offend the ones not comprehending,
That the asking of questions to clarify with answers...
Should not be interpreted as distrust.
