When we hold a viewpoint and hold it tight

Making us blind to another's way of sight

Where does it leave us? ... are we in a place

Of power, or have we lost sense of space?



The point in doing things in your own way

Is - it makes simple pleasures without pay

But that's alright, because if it works for you

Then you have the right to sing the blues 



For whatever it is you state and then stick to

Can be seen as solid character, and not moved

By the opinions of others - not all that important

For the most valued of all, is your own judgment



- Tristram
