One Mans Meat Poem by Lodigiana Poetess

One Mans Meat

Rating: 4.8


We all have choices we can make
between perspectives or the paths we take.
As night and day offer separate views,
we have the choice of which we choose.

When enemy and friend collide
each valuing a different side,
but each so sure their view unique
deny the other chance to speak.

Stand back, take charge, forget the pride,
leave your perceived views to one side,
and open up to other views
and take a walk in others shoes!

Choices differ from person to person. Choosing this law one shouldn't be forced to do as per one's will. Dear Poetess, you have astutely and hauntingly inscribed this poem. I want to quote some lines..... Stand back, take charge, forget the pride, leave your perceived views to one side, and open up to other views and take a walk in others shoes! Beautiful poem with lofty insight!

It's a fundamental skill and I wish it was taught in school. Business, personal relationships, and the world in general would all work better if more people could put themselves in others' shoes. Well expressed, Lodigiana.

I agree with you. We spend so much time entrenched in our beliefs, we forget to consider the viewpoints and perspective of others. Thanks.
