Look at it this Way

To Whom it May Concern,

Look at it this way

We learned how to turn lead into gold

The idea is too ancient to be old

Just become a plumber

You need your gold to live

You get out of bed to earn

The money you need to buy the bed

But water is the truest life

And we need the pipes to bring the water

So pipes turn lead to gold.

Look at it this way

Food doesn’t move

Your waistline has nothing to prove

And healthy food isn’t slow

If it doesn’t move, it can’t be fast

That’s more important than you know

You need to bring the movement

When you break bread with someone,

It’s the fire of the oven you’re sharing

It’s not the food that moves

Look at it this way

Love is a greater darkness than evil or cruelty or plight

So turn out the light

When you make love

Here is what darkness means:

It can take any shape, and shifts when you shine light on it

It is the source of dreams, it is rest, it is sleep

You can always find it, no matter how deep your hole

It has no limits, you can find it anywhere

It is love, and it is darkness

Look at it this way

Do not be afraid of fear

That way you will hear

The voice of hope

What do you do once you’re afraid

If the greatest fear is fear itself?

No matter the terror that started it,

If you fear your fear you’ll spiral

So fight fear with fear

Because fear is terrified of peace

Look at it this way

Your body is not your enemy

Your blood is not astronomy

So stop staring down the stars

Remember the word “ambulance”

And you’ll understand the lie of the mirror

Reflections are reversed, the sides are wrong

Waists do have bottom lines

But your body won’t put you out of business

It’s your heart you need to watch

So give it a try, look at it this way

Stop trying to get things right

Sometimes even the frost can bite

Warmest Regards,

Broken Windows Theory
