The Shady Ones

Too bright the world maybe in eyes of different colours, but wicked eyes do fail to see the light in hearts of others. With warmth the sun shall shine on souls that overglow, undoubtful faith in innocent hearts will add to the devils woe. Signs of revulsion the hateful show on face and in every cry, with glee and pleasure they are quick to mock with hate in every sigh. The prideful ones sparkling they are in reflections of shattered mirrors, but ignorant thoughts will surely lead to a life of a thousand errors. Envious eyes disguise themselves behind their innocent looks, but some expose hidden cupidity as words in open books. Too many shades the world does have for those with great require, but only colours that bring us joy are what our hearts desire. Saleh Ben Saleh

Wicked eyes see only the faults of others. It's a human tendency, but one that must be fought, resisted. Everyone has at least some good. Nice poem Ben
