Open Your Eyes

Seeing eyes, eyes that see
different eyes
For you and me.
Some eyes that look at a perfect scene
See a different image from you and me
They only see what they want to see

Why feast your eyes on a perfect
flower.
All some can see is wealth and power.
Power is a powerful tool,
It can create an unhealthy cesspool
Of corruption and death.

Some close their eyes,
Refusing to see,
What is clear to you and me?
