The thirty second rule

We take in our surroundings

We look at another human

We make up our minds...

All it really takes is

Thirty seconds of our time...

But can we truly see clearly?

Just exactly who and what

Stands before us...

In a moment; can we discover?

The essence of a woman, a man

The answer is very clearly

A great big "NO" 

And yet it is this subconscious

This automatic; sense that we use

We look for any clues...

To give us understanding

To give us some insight

Anything that will allow us...

To determine how we should act...

Whether it is to be fight or flight...
