You will sometimes be APPALLED, by the horrific way that someone has acted.
The behavior was so disgusting and dismal, you don’t ever want it reenacted.
The behavior that was displayed, was against your morals, you really disagree.
This will make you feel uncomfortable and just want to show fright, fight, freeze, or flea.
After the shock has worn off, you start to think about that person, some more.
It turns out that you didn’t know them after all, not the person from before.
People will always show you their character and beliefs, by their actions.
They will tell you who they are, what they are about, in all your interactions.
You might see something happen, that will cause you great shock and appall.
Things didn’t go the way you expected, it didn’t follow proper protocol.
You have never seen this happen before, it is a new experience for just you.
You do not know what happened, you do not know what to think or even do.
Just know that this is perfectly a normal reaction, it has caused you some alarm.
This is a new experience for you, and just want to avoid any harm.
You may squint your nose, you may make a scowl, you will want to stay away.
Don’t overreact though, because you don’t want your behavior, shown on instant replay.

THE RULES DON’T APPLY
Nick Shockney, the current CCPS Assistant Superintendent broke the law and it was covered up. This poem odd to blow the whistle on this behavior and hold him accountable for his actions, once and for all B
PERSPECTIVE AND IDENTITY
If I see a six, and you see a nine; No perspective, needs a redefine. Perspective, lies in the beholder. Each is found, above the shoulder.
FREE TO LIBERATE
Every American has the liberty to simply choose. Too many give that right up, for too many views. Your choice might not be the same, as my choice. Your choice isn’t better, making me lose my voice.
CENSORING MY VOICE
Don’t silence my voice, if it’s different than you. My opinions are many, they are not just a few. How can I stay quiet, when i was mistreated? The silent, give it permission, to be repeated.
EFFORT ITSELF
Any effort starts with the decision to just try. Effort requires energy, for us to then apply. A decision of effort, starts inside of our brain. The brain’s nueroplasticity, is what we’ll gain.
GET A GRIP ON YOUR GRUDGE
It is a hard feeling, when you hold a grudge. You can’t let go of the past, and won’t budge. All of the future is blurry because of the past. They blur together, as time has then amassed.
THE COLORS WE ALL SEE
You will always see color, and me, will just the same. Our eyesight doesn’t need adjustment, or reframe. Color is something, we all see, with some emotion. The colors we see, set our emotions, into motion.
OPEN YOUR MIND
Everyone has different beliefs, all felt in the heart. First, you have beliefs, they make you fall apart. Untrue beliefs, are confronted from the very start. Understanding your current thinking, plays a part.
PARENTS AS ARTISTS
When your child is born, they are simply a blank slate. They are but a canvas, for your artwork to demonstrate. Artwork, is not a duplication, but an opportunity for art. No formula or directions are given, right from the start.
