Desire To Be Blind

The way we live

The way we conduct business

The way we say I Love…

You know the rest

It all should suggest that we be completely free

Although I look for it, and I can’t see

Shit.

Must be blind eyed in inverse

Closed eyes and still can’t see black

Cursed we seem to be forced to rehearse the same line from a rerun

As we run from our own guns and those of police funs cause we have none

Too busy not being, never fleeing, & not seeing

Us, them & we respectfully

I decline

Choosing to pay my fine

In order to become a fine specimen indeed

My tone remains pure

Although, I’m alone for sure

Where are you?
