Removal of the Blindfold

Eyes don’t open leaving our mother’s womb Blind babies walk in clouded fields of lies When the valleys clear you’ll long for your tomb It all begins when simplicity dies Humanity hurls water in your face Washed over eyes no longer blind see the truth Infinite fields turn to walls you can’t erase A mind that becomes shackles ends your youth Once a pretty landscape turns polluted The same field seen through refurbished lenses All the promise turns to feeling muted Thoughts see life’s gospel loosing all its senses A ripe conscience pleads for old perception Innocence is the cruelest deception
