The Right Eyes...

Who's idea of right and wrong
are you trying to live
Is this your idea of it
Is this your idea of what's right
Truly?

There are so many people out there
that are so far away
from themselves
from any real truth
from everything
They are so gone
so lost
so blinded

They wander after someone else's view
of what's right
what's good
what should be seen
Their eyes are turned blind
detached from their own mind
from their own insight
from their own spirit
their own view

So many blinded eyes looking at them
directing them how to see this way
perpetuating the blind views of this world
making it so hard to look back at them
or anything they leave in view

The darkness behind their eyes will not shine
The directions their eyes look do not become illuminated
The light is still in there somewhere
it has to be
but there is something else in its way
something someone put it there for them
and they like it there
They enjoy not seeing
in the same way as so many others

They think that right and wrong is by consensus
or by proxy of the prophetic
They look to people they think can see past them
that can see in ways they can't comprehend
to show them the way
or tell them what is there
so they don't have to see it
or don't have to worry over not seeing it themselves
For them it isn't necessary to see
only to look to those that can tell them
of what they describe as sight

They look down on everything else
all the other views
for if anyone sees things differently
it must be wrong
because they have been shown what's right
or seen the ones that have

Even the ones that have perhaps seen something
right in their own eyes
can't bear the sight of others
if they do not see like them

Everyone is trying to see what's right
trying to see it all
trying to show everyone else
trying to see it in everything, everywhere
Obsessed with this view of what's right
the eyes see very little of what is there
so little of what might be
so little of what is to be beheld
so little of what is left
to be seen

I've seen enough of this blindness
in my own eyes and others
Don't be like this
Don't try to see what's right
Don't try to blind yourself, detached from your own eyes
Don't try to be right
Be honest
If you think you see things clearly
keep looking
Don't worry about showing anyone else
they can see it for themselves
and if they don't see it there
it isn't for them to see

Now take a look around you
and look away from me
take your eyes off of these words
and see whatever you truly see
but not because I told you
because that won't open your eyes to anything
that hasn't already been seen
but look out for all these things
that go on
sight un-seen
