Those Who Cling Onto Values And Standards Outdated



I'm sure those who have been depicted,
As having intelligence...
Don't directly intend to offend,
Those who have lived to experience life...
Defending their right to live their lives as wished,
Do not expect to be in the center of existing conflicts...
And questioned to explain how their mindsets are restricted.
I'm sure those who have been depicted,
As having intelligence...
Would wish another way,
They could solve the increasing existence of mental sickness.

I'm sure those who mention the pillars of society,
And believe themselves in positions to interpret...
What God meant as if they meet in conversation with God,
On a daily basis...
Are only appeasing those who chose to place them,
In the spotlight and on public podiums to show their faces.

There were times when 'historians' believed the World was flat.
Remember reading about that?
And those who opposed had their lives threatened.
Until the World was discovered round and that became a fact.
There was a time when only nine planets,
In 'this' Universe were said to be the only ones known.
And today telescopes are showing...
There are many more of them yet to be shown.
With other dimensions within to prove we are not alone.

Those who cling onto values and standards outdated to follow,
Only expose themselves to be narrow minded and shallow.
And more than a bit hollow.
And here it is March 2013 when authorities are just revealing,
UFO's and aliens amongst us have been seen.
And how will that affect opinions left by 'pillars' of society?
And what aspect will that have on those who believe GOD...
Speaks only to them in their 'chosen' ears to hear?
With a limited consciousness to express with attempts to impress.
But who or whom?
Those left still addressing their political aspirations with 'correctness',
In the hopes that an ever changing 'majority will accept?
