Blind Are You

Blind are you, are you not? Blind are you, not to see Blind are you who never halt For only you the blurry be Blind are you to never know What the truth is, what lies the others make Blind are you to obstruct the morrow Of your sweet child's growing uptakes Blind are you to never think What it would be, what it really is Blind are you to see it all in a wink The life she has, the life you put out because of this Blind are you who never cease The doubt in your mind, your debased thinking Blind are you who taints the ease Of your own heart's umbery, the bias strengthening Blind are you, who entrusts your own eyes To the blinded, and blinded they are to their inerrable desires Blind are you, to your own demise For you trust the eyes that ravish the women they admire Blind are you to think you know For you do not, and are petty to half-hearted oaths Blind are you, and you'll terribly regret so The people you trust, the people you will soon loathe.
