Walter T. Ashe Poet Rhyme

Plank In Your Eye

How can it be that you're
trying to tell me that
I am not seeing
what you're saying?
You should really think twice
before giving your advice
because your own situation
is displaying!

Now if you're going to tell me
the way you see things should be,
that's fine, but you know,
just before you try-
this tiny speck of dust 
that's making me blink-
can't compare to that
"plank in YOUR eye!"

Now it has been said
that a speck in the eye
will cause one to see three worlds!-
but the more that I blink, 
yes.... it is going away,
and a clearer vision unfurls!

With the good intentions,
I know that you have,
I offer this for you to try-
you will see much more clearly,
quite frankly.... and sincerely,
when you remove that 
"plank in YOUR eye!"
