wearing 
 blinders we don't see the big picture clearly
       we remain lost in a blinding pogonip
              never finding our way out
              of its dense, misty blanket
                           akin to
                  looking at the world
with jaundiced eyes, especially when the world
                            is no
                        clearer than
                      besmirched lens
              keeping us from entertaining
                     novel ideas, seeing
         situations from another perspective
                 such close-mindedness
                  does beget cynicism in
                      the final analysis
          a celebration of blissful ignorance
                        to see things
                           as they are
    we must stay awake and keep our eyes open.
