Emile Pinet Poet Quatern

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.
And overlooking injustice,
we put on rose-colored glasses.

Lin Lane April 20, 2018 at 10:37 AM 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!
