The Curse of Seeing

A fly on a window glass Sees the open skies The blue grass The soothing breeze The rustling leaves of the trees Yet Neither can it understand nor escape The immovable cruality That lets it see it all, but feel none. A fly on a brick wall Not able to see The wonders of the world, The marvel of freedom. It's content with the rough plaster And lives happily ever after

Brilliant. Temptation is cruel. Contentment is bliss. Well done, WM.

Thank you very much! The conscientious can never be content. May be thats the reason we are destined for doom as a species.
