Clear Vision
A veil of ignorance and illusion
All too easily and widely taken,
Vision obscured or even forsaken,
Reinforcing a sense of seclusion,
Being distracted looking left or right.
With the view unsettled and unsettling,
Taking a step forwards is disturbing,
Could be wonderful, there again it might
Be safer and best to simply stay put.
Or maybe cast a glance backwards, because
There’s comfort in a scene that never was,
Better still, perhaps, keep eyes tightly shut.
Human potential remains retarded
Until and unless the veil’s discarded.
