What Do You See
The woman who doesn’t go when the light turns green.
The man yelling at the sun.
The boy with the angry face.
The girl standing on the corner.
Who do you see?
The woman waiting to vote.
The man with the red hat.
The boy stealing a hoody.
The girl vaping.
Who do you see?
The woman with tears at the clinic.
The man wiping his eyes in the coffee shop.
The boy pushing past you.
The girl who cut herself.
Who do you see?
The woman who is drunk.
The man passed out, his nude ass exposed.
The boy asking why everything costs so much.
The girl spitting in your face.
Who do you see?
We see what we want to see.
All of us.
What we see and how far we can see is up to us and no one else.
Do we see only ourselves?
Or do we see the countless people of humanity all with a story, all with a life, all with a purpose, a meaning.
A better world begins when we open our eyes and see.
Peace
