Blind Sight and the Furnaces of Hell

Smear the sight Grope the socket Cleave the eyeball Do you get it yet? Smash out the eyes! No one wants to see All are blind anyways To the pain and death of others Greed, deep running self-absorbance Hush now, look away Pretend not to see That light that leaves the young one’s eyes As she slips away into death It’s not like the child was important to you Anyways And I scream we all shall rot in the Furnaces together! Of are we already There? Here?
