Someone once told me that the greatest evil in life was to not be able to see all the beauty that it has to offer-- To be eyeless. But looking around, how could it be so evil ... so wrong to not be able to see? Glance in any direction, and all that is, is a hellscape. Violence glorified, the devil incarnate. Vicariously living through the blood of others--the hate. Not to mention the soapboxes made of tissue, and the horses so high they could scrape the very sky. And I'd be remiss to fail to mention all the masks. A mask for work, a mask for when we're out. A mask for family? You need not even ask. We even have our very own mask to wear when we stare at ourselves in the mirror. So, I believe this person is wrong.   The greatest evil is not to be eyeless but to have eyes and not see-- Not see the pointlessness of it all.

Eyeless
Hello there in the mirror It's been a length of time Too long, if you ask me And you do ask me Because I'm you Oh, me, it's been too long Once we were of a kind Then we were metal twine Then were cut in two Glass can tell A story Better than Family Or even A good friend Glass can tell A story Better than The basic John or Jane Or Mx Hello there in the mirror It's been a length of time Ugly is beautiful Beautiful ugly And in between Oh, me, I'm Pulling stretch marks apart To see the white The intact skin is tanned The damaged skin is Bright pearlescent Oh, me, I'm Pulling my gum lines down To see the black The clean teeth still eat plaque The bad teeth, less teeth More empty space

Oh, Me
Get carried away Turn against the pillow Sleeping on the sofa Pretend you're in bed Take it back to ten Where you can pretend The flashing blue and red Connected to the police Is coming from an NES Coming through a CRT
