What, My Eyes Dont See

What my eyes dont see... Anguishes me, to this harsh society. As I look to the majestic sky I see darkness & destruction in its light. How can one, be truly happy?? As we embark on this so.called journey "selfishly" those prostitutes, who lurk on the corner. Dont ignore them!! They are someone's Son or daughter. Look beyound that young ladys 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 someones loving husband, Creeps around tonight. I Close my eyes, I dont want to see These villians, 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. Confessions of each sin, bought to him As a collection plate, constantly circulates. In such abundance, to make his life great. While another waits, she couldnt attend church Today Her sons disease fatal, if a transplant doesnt take place Another struggles with the morgage, To bring the family forward. While a homeless man on these streets, Rummages to find food to eat. It is such a disgrace, the lack of love For the human race. Regardless of personal riches, I can never envy. "Why" They mirror selfish needs, to compensate constant greed Laying dormant in my dreams, why my eyes dont want to see!!! Because it. Will be the destruction of our Humanity!!!
