What You THINK You Know

I want you to
take a moment...
just a moment
and step back
from self
your self
and go over there
to
the other
what you consider
the other
now
what are their thoughts?
what are they feeling?
could it possibly
just possibly
be somewhat different
than what you think
they are thinking
and feeling?
open your mind
open your emotions
open your soul
and go
OVER THERE
what if
they actually meant
what they said
that their WORD
was true
what would that do
to your world?
could it be
that all you think
you know
of them
is wrong?

God forbid.

What did I ever say
or do
that had you turn
against me?
Look
at the facts
the facts
what was my crime
exactly
other than some
thought
that entered
into your mind
and whispered
"She is your enemy."
