Rose Colored Glasses
We put on rose-colored glasses,
that blur reality's vision.
And block out any wrongs we see,
ignoring the plight of the poor.
To disguise life's uglier side,
we put on rose-colored glasses.
And focus our sight straight ahead,
cheerfully wearing our blinders.
Tinted with alternative truths
that we so much want to believe.
We put on rose-colored glasses
to camouflage anguish and tears.
Seeing the world through filtered eyes;
humanity escapes our view.
For when we confront injustice,
we put on rose-colored glasses.
