Do you see color?
What do you see?
Can you see the sins of the humanity,
And the hypocrisy creeping at the doorsteps?

The World of Sight When Goes

Away, let of vision waken,
Let world of sound sharply shaken.

Frozen eye stares through vaudeville glaucoma.
The master is mimicked, masked, and mocked.

Far across the earth ends

Almost blue then, there
