Eyes

Eyes that are bigger than the brain 
Eyes that only see and do not comprehend 
Eyes that penetrate the deep and dim 
But brain as empty as the wind 

Eyes that intrude the life of others 
But brain that neglects its own self
Eyes that only want to intrude the life of others 
But brain that neglects its own problem 

Eyes that only see the flaws in others 
But brain that does not see its own flaws 
Eyes that only want to see the flaws in others 
But brain that neglects its own flaws 

Be not like eyes that are bigger than the brain 
For you have your own life to fix 
Better yet use your brain to solve your own problem 
Than to use your eyes to judge others
