Walking With Your Eyes Closed

Walking with your eyes closed Kids roam in the streets as schools cry for more seats, Many sleep in hunger while food in the bin creeps. Can you lend a helping hand, rather than walk with eyes closed ? Youth smitten by money losing morals to iniquities, Drenched in luxuries a living masquerade. Can you catechize ethics Or still walk with eyes closed ? Abusing nature for greed exploiting feeble and fleece, Plundering water and soil looting air and oil. Can you fix up this and end Or blindness would you pretend ? Proving valour in bouts of spar, To quench this thirst in name of war, Sitting on throne conquered in ashes, crowned in Bloodshed. Would you aggrandize and greet? Treasure time, will else fleet, And stop walking with your eyes closed. Written Feb 22nd, 2017 For contest by Jamie
