What the Eye Sees

work in progress

The mote in my eye conceals the flaws

The words from your mouth reveal. In awe

I sit, dazzled, glazed, until the claw

Of doubt creeps out to unseal the door

Where the hidden goblins congeal and  store

the deep, despairing pain I’ll feel if anymore

Of this mote in my eye unseals.

The motein my eye conceals the flaws

Of all you do, the lying, the deals, and more

As your tentacle fingers steal food from the poor

Lawyers connive, in suits and heels, to pour

Fire waves fed with kerosene, and ravens caw

At tent towns under darkness seal. And when I saw

If I saw, through tears, the movie reel with music score

Of Truth in memory and Justice to heal, this festering sore

As the mote in my eye unseals.
