How much should we know
Before we let it all out
When should we stand
And speak out
Sleepless nights
In a world that's not right
People getting away with murder
In broad daylight
People hiding behind blind eyes
Not seeing what they see
Not hearing what they hear
How long can they hold on
To what's in their head
How long before their heart
Speaks for them
People are afraid to speak out these days due to possible reprisals, but if more did, then more would be brought to justice. Great poem.
Thought provoking and poignant write dear Dave Walker. The title is deceptive in nature. I anticipated a beautiful imagery behind a blind eye.Yet the read gave a direct slap saying that reluctant spectator like me are all blind.
People hiding behind blind eyes....ha ha really you speak the real.i love your writing
sometimes people look but don't really want to see. Hiding behind blind eyes. enjoyed
Very touching and revealing write, a lot of the message so timely and urgent. Such boldness presented here.
We have to stand and be counted to tell the truth as the truth will set us all free! Powerful write!
Truth is covered with blind eyes- stand and speak out the truth
an eye opening piece with brilliant thoughts... a great job sir
