“My Eyes”

My eyes are sore from all of the disasters in the world. . .

It’s as if no one sees what I have seized for the prevention of such turmoil.

Keep in mind- a disaster does not have to be global. . .

A senseless mind is one of a kind and without a doubt- you must remain hopeful.

My eyes see sisters against sisters, brothers against brothers, children against

       their mothers and countless others. . .

Though you rarely see fathers against daughters- it happens.

Fake friends against true friends. . .

When will it end?

The process of love, peace and happiness is slow and to be determined. . .

Change is sure to come and that’s the direction to flow.

My eyes are somehow connected to my brain- it’s hard to explain. . .

But that’s how I know- the brightest and the best will clearly show.

Perseverance is one valuable key to success- so you should stay strong. . .

Always leave room for error in case something goes wrong.

I can see the smile I place on another’s face. . .

I view it as a condition for entrance into the Pearly Gates- just in case.

All the while- having ice cream with my cake. . .

But of course, at least I’m not fake.

Battling with the bulls. . .

In my eyes- is just one big mistake!

You’ll love me or hate me.

In my eyes- that’s the best way to be. . .

Sticks and stones may even break my bones-

       but words, words will never hurt me.

If I should die before I open my eyes- then God,

       God please save me!
