What my eye's do not want to see,
Anguishes me, to this harsh society.

As I look to the majestic sky, I see
Darkness & destruction, in it's light.

How can one be truly happy?
As we embark on this "so called"
Journey.....

Selfishly!!!

Those prostitutes who lurk, on the corner.
Don't ignore them. They are someone's son
Or daughter.

Look beyond that young lady's eyes.
A rambunctious little girl.....waits inside.
For a glimmer of care..........in a faceless strangers lies.
As a mothers silent prayers.......cradles her daughters life.
And someone's loving husband.......creeps around tonight.

I close my eyes, I don't want to see.
These villains that surround me.
They smile politely in your face,
As the back is turned, a frown takes shape.

A brutal dishonesty of the worse kind.
Manipulation, so intriguing to the weak & blind.

As the congregation prays, the preacher is delayed.
On his private jet, to save there day.
Confession of each sin, bought to him.
A collection plate, constantly circulates.
In such abundance, to make his life great.

While another awaits..........she couldn't attend church today. her sons disease fatal, if a transplant doesn't take place.
Another struggles with the mortgage.......to bring the, family forward.
While a homeless man, on these streets.......rummages to find food, to eat.

It is such disgrace, the lack of love, for the human race.
Regardless of personal riches, I can never envy!!!

They mirror selfish needs, to compensate constant greed.
Laying dormant in my dreams.

What my eyes do not want to see!!!
