My View Of You
By La Belle Rouge


I don’t care who you choose to love
what your sexual preference may be
I care about the way
I see you treating other people

whatever your political views
I will tolerate, even if I don’t agree
but I usually avoid
angry holier-than-thou-know-it-alls

I can’t get past your prejudice
to hear your philosophical words
when your philosophy
isn’t in juxtaposition with respect

I don’t care if you write material
some may find brash and offensive
I believe all aspects
of a person’s gift should be explored

I feel gratified, as a writer, a person
if you take your freedom to be, to write
all that is a part of you
if you are diminished, I am narrowed too

for what you are, all that you are
was created to enrich the souls of others
so what I care about is
wisdom and love released into the world

and if I can't see that in my view of you
I'll just quietly look away....

Now wouldn't that be something if everyone just excepted everyone else for who they are...not what they think they are, you know we all don't have a nice and neat chubby-hole that we fit in. Right on Belle

I totally agree with this, all too often I have seen reviews that do not critic an authors work but show hate for the writer instead. We all should be entitled to our views, our religions, our little sins etc and if others don't like them they should just pass on reviewing them and move on to ones they do like.

Now there is a bit of logic, accepting all people as they are and not what we want of them or for them...

Be always safe,

What makes this country free: agreeing to disagree. LOL! Much to ponder in these lines, La Belle, VERY well penned.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Chere La Belle Rouge, I liked very much what you wrote and particularly: "for what you are, all that you are was created to enrich the souls of others so what I care about is
wisdom and love released into the world." Love Emile
