Look – and decide for yourself
what you’re seeing.
Write and don’t worry
they’ll judge.
The opinion of others
is theirs alone
(And mine is
just more of the sludge).
Look – and decide for yourself
what you’re seeing:
take it all in
at a rush.
Or savour it slowly,
draw it on paper or
splash it about
with a brush.
Look – and decide for yourself
what you’re seeing.
Ignore the turn
of the screw.
When all’s said,
done – and written:
be true to yourself.
This is YOU.

Reblogging this as a reminder – to the social-media-hugging-world – of the time my English teacher told my class [of 10yr olds] ..”not to believe everything you read”.. 54 years ago.
