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.

It’s Agenda

Everyone has agenda

It is the basis for what we do,

And that very same agenda

Also shapes our worldview.

Sometimes it is hidden

Sometimes it’s in the open,

Sometimes we work it out in silence

Sometimes it is outspoken.

It evolves from stage to stage

And progresses through each level,

It could be something elaborate

And for others, very simple.

Yes, agenda is self-defining

Especially the stereotypes,

And even some in the minority

Put up a determined fight.

Orientation and inclination

Is a part of every soul

To the extent that even weirdos

Are becoming very bold.

At the premise of their agenda

Are orientation and inclination

And however weird they maybe

Acceptance is the expectation.

Like the agenda of the genders:

Your gender, their gender, and mine

Are evolving by leaps and bounds

Where once there were only two kinds.

There is a gender you are feeling

And there is a gender that you like,

There is a gender you can switch to

A different gender for the day or night.

There is a gender for

When I am not feeling that gender anymore,

And we could go on and on

Showing you genders galore.

You can choose your own gender

From the assortment that we carry

Or, you can develop one of your choice

Once that gender makes you happy.

Or you may choose

To not have any gender at all,

It does not matter your agenda

Any gender can be your call.

No need to panic or rush it

Of genders, we will never run out,

There is a gender for every inclination

Or any orientation that you spout.

It doesn’t matter how ludicrous

Or how ridiculous it may be,

It is our aim to meet every demand

And to make everyone happy.

Agenda or gender

There needs be no confusing of the two,

One fits into the other

Like a sock fits into a shoe.

It does not even matter

Which of the two comes to the fore,

One will invariably promote the other

No less and no more.

So your gender, their gender

And also mine,

Whatever the perceived gender,

Some agenda will define.

Be reminded, God has an agenda

It is stated in His Holy Word,

There you will find only two genders

All other agendas are absurd.

It is absolutely nonsensical

To add to the genders that brought you,

All others subtract from procreation

That is my considered view.

For the purpose of procreation

There can be only two

But man will give up the tried and tested

To experiment with the new.

The devil’s agenda is often hidden

In the emotions of the human mind

But in God’s divine agenda,

He and his affiliates are only for a time.

Now I have reached verse twenty-one

The maturation of a woman or man,

Regarding your agenda and gender

Please stick with the Master’s plan.

The apostrophe and s on Master

 Refers to God’s original plan,

No crossover, in between or obscene

Just the two genders originating in Adam.

It would be remiss of me

If I did not repeat the theme,

For now, it’s agenda that’s shaping gender

Hence a world that is about to careen.

The question is whose agenda:

Your agenda, their agenda or mine,

Let’s get back to the two genders

Which produce offspring of their kind.
