Eye To Open Eye

Eye To Open Eye by Odin Roark How steadfast the gaze At times gentle Most disturbing Other times angry Most transparent Few times without shadow Most obvious The dead see better Say those pursuing truth While in our face Podiums support Balconies present Photo-ops portray Power’s ever-dark delusion How unfortunate Certain dilated pupils See not opportunity’s avenue of perception But choose guilt’s dense chameleon of deceit That illusion to light where none exists Ignorance cultivates many who Unknowingly cater to a fear partnership Darkening their eyes Avoiding insight Embracing immunity to consciousness Eventually becoming destitute They can only watch As honesty of purpose Knows only Eye to open eye Integrity Out of reach For the blind of heart And thus The wailing of helplessness begins Desperately wondering Why is there no end?
