Contempt for the eyes that watch the twitch of the body, the spit that takes flight
From the mouth of those whose eyes
Look further than what meets the eye
Those who take no notice of the little irrelevant things but marvel at the great big.
Set before them. Taking on each challenge with vigor.  
Charging up to volunteer
Their bodies held together by the strength that hold them steady
Makes the whole.
Taking life by the reins.  
Steering their destiny
While the watchful eyes remain behind the blinds
Looking on in scorn and spewing judgement on those
Living the life they desire
The life the crave.  
Only their eyes see but the flesh does
Not feel.
Starved men left alone
Behind the blinds
Experiencing life with only their
Eyes.
But what happens when
They lose their sight.
Lose themselves
In the life of
Greater men.
