Earthly Eyes

My earthly eyes, why do you persistently prevent My probing mind, the real essence of things to find By Focusing on materiality’s ever changing phenomena, Obscuring thus Truth and risk my soul’s eyes to blind? © Demetrios Trifiatis 17 JULY 2015

There's a lot of thought in this & who knows if the problem will ever be solved I guess that's why GREED is a deadly sin?Light & Love

Personally, dear Debbie, I believe that it is a philosophical problem which means it will linger as long as man lasts! Thank you for your visit and kind comment!

Hello Demetrios, This one is quite interesting. I sense that perhaps all of us possess these Earthly Eyes and the materiality that goes with them. And when this happens the truth can be in question and we confuse our very soul body. I like the Epigram very much!! Best Wishes Always, Gary
