Robert Johnson Poet Rhyme

Seeing Blind

The distant hills are out of sight.
Any rational has taken flight.
Where the sun sets, I don't know.
I'm learning to go with the flow.

Some people think that it's ok.
Ignorance is bliss and that's their way.
But some things stay stuck in my mind.
I can't go on just seeing blind.

We close the curtains for privacy.
What we think, no one should see.
When evil lurks outside our door.
And we just can't take anymore.

I have to go and take a shower.
I'm going to church in about an hour.
I'll kneel and pray for past's and present's.
With all the rest of the paupers, kings and peasants.
