To See

   To see is to fall,

And get up realizing life’s better living blind,

To see is to know,

That eternal bliss is nothing but a novelty,

To see is to sow,

The seeds of melancholy and agony,

To see is to plow,

Into the big scary badlands,

 

To lose sight is to live,

Knowing you’ll never be alone,

To lose sight is to feed,

Into the power running the world,

To lose sight is to love,

And be confident of having that reflected back,

To lose sight is to lay back,

And find comfort in the arms of security,

To lose sight is to escape,

The big bad badlands,

 

I sat back and looked at either possibilities,

The dark, scary badlands,

And the phony plastic sightless reality,

But couldn’t draw a better conclusion except this,

To know the difference is to live,

Knowing that death is the only escape.
