"So You Say"

So you say that you can see?
Take a look in the mirror..
Do you know who that is?

So you say that you can see?
What color are you,
Yellow,Red,Black.

So you say that you can see?
What color is your heart,
What color is your soul?

Is it Yellow with cowardice,
Is it Red with murder,
Is it Black with hatred?

So you say that you are strong?
When someone maligned you character,
When someone slandered your name did you forgive them?

So you you say that you are good?
When someone took from you did you let them have it,
Without a thought of getting it back or getting even?

So you say that you are tough?
When was the last time you suffered indignity with a smile,
Did you go without so someone could have what YOU wanted?

So you say that you can see?
Can you really see more than everyone else?
It just may be that you are blind.

So you say that you are wise?
Do you really know more than everyone else?
It just maybe that your a fool.

So you say that you are truly alive,
Are you truly all powerful,invincible?
It just maybe that you are truly dead.

Dear God make me blind so I can see.
Make me a fool so I can become wise.
Break my heart and give out the pieces so that I can truly live.
