Kaleidoscope World
by Kylie Sherman
The world is a kaleidoscope.
Everyone sees the colors differently
and everyone is determined to be right.
Some people see forever through the kaleidoscope world
and some see only a day
and some nothing at all.
Some see the world
through the prism called religion
and then through the kaleidoscope
and their view is distorted.
For some
this only serves
to brighten the colors of the world.
Some try to force the kaleidoscope
to only produce patterns
geometric and logical
but the world is not ordered that easily.
Sense and reason
are impossible to discover
until all colors are found.
Some are determined
to only see the colors they wish to see
and therefore do not look through the kaleidoscope at all
but instead look into a mirror.
Mirrors are windows
into the colors of your mind
but not doors to the colors of the world.
The kaleidoscope of the world
is neither flawed nor perfect
but we replace the eyepiece with prisms and mirrors
and fail to see truth.
