Rose-Colored Glasses

This is a poem I wrote on October 29, 2007, and it's about disagreeing with someone else's point of view.


You seem to think that nothing's wrong
That everything in the community is strong
Well, I've got news for you and the masses
You're looking at the world through rose-colored glasses


You look at those who want a change
And think that they and their ideas are something strange
You stand with those who have authority
And you're just stuck in your small town mentality


The view from your stained glass window
Must be a thing of wonder to truly behold
I wish I could see from your point of view
But, unlike you, I have been jaded with the truth


Unlike you,
I don't hide behind a pair of rose-colored glasses
