Many Eyes
We have many eyes; Even though we only see two.
We have eyes 4 Beauty. These eyes see only the external beauty
Of people and things around us;
We have eyes 4 Temptation; these eyes are guided by greed,
Lying and cheating.
They are blinded, and they bring pain and instant gratification which is short lived;
We have eyes 4 Sadness; these eyes give us away.
They are honest, they express how we feel and
Hide nothing;
We have eyes 4 Happiness; they see the future.
These eyes take risks; they make us gamble against our better senses.
These eyes take no prisoners;
Finally we have the eyes 4 Love; these eyes see inner beauty;
They aren’t selfish; they allow you to see the suffering
Of others; they are kind, generous and are never blurred.
They let go when letting go makes others happy.
