Seeing and Feeling

What we see and what we feel

Is similar to news and views,

It is what we make of what we see:

In other words, our reviews.

We live in a postmodern time

In which we dare not trust our senses

And when we see what we actually see

That could create some offenses.

Several people looking at the same thing

Will see something different

And depending on their orientation

Different things will be apparent.

What is it we are seeing?

Is it President Trump or his policies?

Is it his tweets or is it his sweets?

What is it we really see?

What you see is what you get

Once used to be the refrain,

Now believe it and you have it,

This sounds kind of insane.

Feelings have climbed the charts

What we feel has outpaced what we see,

This is even so in the church

Which adds to the mystery.

 

Televangelists and others

Are appealing to what people feel,

It’s like, don’t you worry about what you see

Just listen to our appeal.

They are part of the mystery

Why seeing is not always believing,

Hence, it’s better to trust in feelings

And let that be the key to receiving.

It is like walking into your miracle

Like we heard some time ago,

Do not go by what you see

Step out and let your feelings show.

It is all over the world

World leaders are leading by appeal,

Trust not your senses, particularly seeing,

And begin to learn how to feel.

It’s really about feeling, yes it is,

It is time that you jump on board,

You would feel so much better if you try

And get a little more than seeing affords.

If you see what I am doing

And you are satisfied with that,

You might be misled by what you see

Feelings might be your real fact.
