Double Vision

With eyesight that is seeing two I’m not quite sure what I should do, my job needs vision that is keen, if this gets worse what will it mean? The problem is a cataract, my vision it is still intact, but seeing two in all I find can sometimes really blow my mind. A brand new lens will do the trick but I must have one really quick because I’m not a man of wealth this must be done on ‘national health’. The waiting lists are far too long, so many times I’ve heard this song, if soon I’m not the one they choose my livelihood I’m going t lose. They then will pay me ‘out of work’ and all will think it’s work I shirk, but this is not the way I play I’d rather have it done today. Now I’ll just have to wait my turn and try to work, that I may earn enough for me to help provide the things we need just to survive. So soldier on is what I’ll do with eye that sees not one but two and ‘vision’ of a future time when I can drive with one white line! Ivor G Davies ©2011 (This got a lot worse, see 'bending light.)
