Change your perceptions. <br />And get rid of that list of preferences. <br />Focus upon the landscape with widened eyes. <br />Leave those fantasies for those who lie to themselves. <br />Adapt to adjust to the truth one today 'must'. <br />Or find yourself disgusted like others, <br />Believing the feeding on greed will return... <br />With a getting respect from those most impressed, <br />That you will do 'anything' to remain in debt... <br />Like they have done to delude, <br />Happiness can be obtain... <br />By what one possesses and can afford to get. <br />Change your perceptions. <br />And get rid of that list of preferences. <br />Focus upon the landscape with widened eyes. <br />Leave those fantasies for those who lie to themselves. <br />Adapt to adjust to the truth one today 'must'. <br />Or find yourself disgusted like others, <br />Believing the feeding on greed will return... <br />With a getting respect from those most impressed. <br />Choose not to be that stupid. <br />Choose to do what for YOU is best!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
