Eyes that pierce through
Thin layers of civilization
Bright but not quite true
Merely bare confirmation
Of our longing to believe
Words meant to deceive
Blind to what’s between
Lines we may have seen
Oblivious for we missed
The shrouded ugly twist

Something about this
Has an occult feeling to a doomsday clock..
the rising tension to a catastrophic prevalence
I liked that effect, and I liked the poem.
I do suppose that freeing yourself from the strict rhyme in certain areas could have had a much more striking style...
But it's just me
Good work nonetheless

Some things that eyes see make them wish they'd been blind. I am saying this from an opened eye's point of view.
Another great write Light

Words are meaningful ...
only for those who can see the senselessness of all.
To become divinely nothing is an increasingly passionate want of mine.
No matter how people twist their words, His Truths are constant and that is all that matters.
Thank you, Chris, for redefinitions.
Be well, Poet.

You don't need eyes to see: you need vision
yes, it is a sad state of affairs when illusion is percieved reality... corruption a sublime normality.
we don't get much time to reflect and are drawn outside of ourselves from an early age. Meaning externalized. we seek external fulfillment to transcend our woes rather than search self for insight's flourishing wisdom inherent to all beings.
we connect slowly with truth as we sive through the many illusions of existence. Outer form has replaced inner substance. Let us hope it doesn't take a nightmare scenario to wake us. Great write, Chris

Good one Chris
I believe - although many times we have been bombarded with deception from all sides - It's a gift to read between the lines - nice rhyme - --------------------------------------------- joe -------------- peace
