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.
