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.
