Stepping Back

It is easy to become involved,
but hard to step away
from something important to you
that you encounter every day.
With deeper contemplation
confusion simply grows,
and your cognitive dissonance                                         Free from emotional baggage;
offers credence to your foes.                                         away from conditioned response,                                                                                                       truth has a way of illuminating,
Remove yourself from the burden:                                           and of changing
step back and look away.                                                          all who can see.
Find a light and happy place,
and forget the eternal fray.
Free from constant involvement,
logic will weave its spell
and the sudden light will clarify
the shadows, dark and fell.
