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.

Your truths are impossible to deny in this one, Emile. I finally wised up and threw my rose colored glasses away, and I've never seen the pot holes in life more clearly. A very insightful write...pun intended!
