Blind

It’s quite a simple situation
No need for reason, contemplation
We don’t even need a cause
Making flaws in perfect laws

It’s us that make things complicated
So unconcerned, demotivated
We model our lives based on theirs 
But using bent and twisted shapes

Eternally seeking an end to our turmoil

While this remains a situation (that)
Takes no thought or concentration
To see the solution’s before our eyes
We’re basing laws on perfect flaws

The depth and breadth of this piece is truly remarkable... poetry is meant to provoke and incite... this does both. BRAVO Ema! Best wishes, Keith
