Blind

By KozMic BluEs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

A dark shroud covered my unwilling eyes, And for thirteen years, I was blinded. Unable to see all the hatred and violence in the world, Only laughter, and joy. And when the veil was finally lifted, And I saw the awful truth, All I had ever known, was gone. I looked on in despair for just a brief moment and then, All I could do was cry. And tug at that veil, trying so hard to pull it back over my eyes. Trying so hard to be blind, once more.To gain peace, war must cease to exist.
