Poem Xvii - Naked Eye

What's true these days? This world we live in has so much lies we can't even tell the truth anymore. Real eyes, realise, real lies. If only people could see with the eyes they were born with. Did you know that you don't listen with your ears? Your ears are simply the reciever of the sound waves I'm creating and it changes them into impulses which sends them to the brain. So you listen with your brain. Strange hey. Your brain is the second most powerful thing you have inside you. Look around you. You see people that are different to who you are. Different morals, different tastes, different styles. Acknowledge it because once you try see the goodness in them that's when you've dropped the ball. Never trust a soul. Don't trust me. Don't trust the person next to you. The devil was once an angel. I'm not saying lose hope just be careful. You can't mend a broken glass because before it was broken it was pure and clean. It had the ability to hold a certain capacity and now that its broken not only has it lost the ability to hold something, its capable of cutting you. Bring you down to size. Stab you with hatred, cut open your gullibility and kill your ego. Kill the ego that is not visible to the human eye. Cause eyes can only see what's in front not inside. Two-faced people that look like they have love and sympathy. Sympathetically loving you for actually believing them. Sympathetically loving you. They don't love you, they feel sorry because you don't know what you're about to feel. You are not seeing with your Naked Eye. Distorted vision. 2 becomes 5 and 5 is soon 10 and before you know it you don't know who you are. So drunk you don't know who you are. Getting blackouts, trying to take the black lungs out but you can't... Take something that wasn't given to you. People say nothing is impossible yet when they try so hard to do the possible it becomes impossible. Naked Eye. Who do you see? A poet reciting a poem with a message or a poet asking for permission to enter your brain and help you see things from another view? You decide. 2014/07/29
