Pain is inflicted
Seeping into the blue
Everyone does not know
Everyone but you
Forever and forever
Now and ever
Is the whole world blind?
Can’t they see?
Are they truly sightless,
Everyone and me
An eye for an eye
And the whole world goes blind
Or so I was told
Long, long ago
Forever and forever
Now and ever
Is the whole world blind?
Can’t they see?
Are they truly sightless,
Everyone and me
Inflicted pain
By whip or words
Tears fall
Deep into the world
Forever and forever
Now and ever
Is the whole world blind?
Can’t they see?
Are they truly sightless,
Everyone and me
Forever and forever
Now and never
Never
Never
Never…

Wow...like putting back the pieces of a puzzle...really takes the mind on a trip...

the repetition actually created a great flow here. also, this write totally boggled my mind and made me think deeply. my favorite line might have been "An eye for an eye And the whole world goes blind" a humorous yet quite a philosophical line. all in all a wonderful write
