One Eye Closed

One eyed closed
he looks at the world
and sees only shooting targets

One eye closed
he looks at a woman
and sees only source of pleasure

One eyed closed
he looks at power
and sees only source of wealth for joy

One eye closed 
he sees citizens
and sees only opposition to be crashed

One eye closed
and he looks at education
and sees it as not a priority

One eye closed
and he looks at Africa
and sees only ignorance to own advantage
