Is Written In the Eye

is written in the eye
look a man straight 
to his eyes 
when he speaks to you
his reality is written there
his truth you will see 
his lies immediately 
you can see 
all you need know is 
not far 
is written in the eye 

is written in the eye
look at her straight
in her eyes 
when she talks to you 
her feelings is not 
far to see 
her emotional state 
is easy to feel 
her truth is written 
right in her eyes 
her lies you is no 
where else 
but straight in her eyes
you can see 
where she stands
is not far 
is written in the eye

is written in the eye
look at those politician
straight in the eye
if you are sensitive
you could see easily 
the motive
that drive their ideology
is not far is right in front 
of you 
while you listen to 
their big plans 
weigh their truth 
look them straight to 
the eye 
their future is obvious
is never far to know
is written in the eye

is written in the eye
look at me straight 
in the eye 
when am talking to you 
cos you could see a lot
to understand why I talk 
what I talk 
the truth the lies 
is written in the eye
the energy
the fears
the courage
the worries
is written in the eye

is written in the eye
look at the world 
with your eye
cos as you see 
the realities of life 
it see's your feelings
it feels your soul
even when tears 
are the only opinion
despite is not your  choice
to see the ugly madness
in our 21st century yet 
how we view the world 
is written in the eye
