Our eyes may be the windows of the soul,
through my windows I see all the sorrows.
Where sorrow's tears always do take a toll;
hoping to improve everyone's tomorrows.
My fortress, built as a face to the world;
reveals that "fair is foul and foul is fair".
Discerning what is just and unfurled -
then can we ever see the real truth out there?
Bound by my fears and tears I sadly weep.
Is something within sullenly seething?
In my soulful refuge I "murder sleep" -
like widows in back of a church fretting.
From my perch my judgments are on the brink.
Now I see the slanted ways people think.
