I've had just enough time... to learn that truth can be hidden in plain sight
 |
| You may not see the truth even if you have compound eyes... |
I was so
sure of my sight because I could see
Better
than others, I thought
So I did
not heed those close to me
"Beware!
Things are not what they seem"
But I
trusted my sight more because I, could see
We were
so sure of the rights we fought
That we could not be wrong
Justice,
compassion, transparency, truth
I thought
all who came under the banners
Fought
for the same God
The
battles had been fought and lost
The
banners strewn on the battlefield
With the
corpses, as I retreated I reflect -
Blindness
is such a strange ailment
We are
blind because we are so sure we see
 |
| Taken of the moth in my garden who reminded me that truth can be hidden in plain sight... |
How our
eyes deceived us. We would not have been fooled if we were blind. I saw the
path I was shown. I saw it lead straight to the castle. And we charged. But we
did not see the swamp that bogged us down. That made us easy preys to the
hidden foes and the circling vultures. We felt the slings of arrows taking up arms
against a sea of troubles. No more! I lay down my arms but not before I reluctantly
slay the beautiful illusive dream. But worry not about the dreamer, he dreams
new dreams without bloodshed instead...
