Blindness is not darkness

In retrospect we see

with eyes we do not have.

Blindness is as frequent

as breathing, or more.

 

One hand leading,

one hand lagging,

the ego soundly truncates

what expediency has not.

 

Blindness is not darkness:

blindness is not seeing.

Blindness is correctly being

in all our vapid states.

 

Physicality is abstract,

and the stalk to true self:

proper awareness must be earned,

through our factual senses.
