Why Are Eyes Opened Wide Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

When he was 'selected' to lead,
Eight years ago.
That should have given everyone a clue,
To prepare for the worst to happen.

And now that it has...
Why are eyes opened wide,
Full of tears and surprise!
Including his.

No one can make their own and separate 'reality'.
To become what they wish.
And ignore it for what it is!

Unless, of course...
One believes they are God.
To magnify themselves,
For God to use as a lesson.
