Glass Eyes

There are preconceptions and unknown
Judgments that linger in everyone’s minds.
Like a disease, it travels from person
to person infecting space and time.

It consists of hate and pain, mixed with love
and insanity. These thoughts could bring
enough tears and rain to wash away humanity.
Why can’t we all just love each other?


That’s the way it supposed to be.
Does it have to be so much hate, no
love, just apathy? Look into my eyes
and see a tangled web of destiny.

Envision the last death, destruction, and
calamity. Look beyond the flesh and see the
transparency. Moses stayed on the mountain
for forty days and forty nights and when he came down

from the mountain all of the Lords people
had defiled themselves. We all gave birth
to a living hell. Seven days is like seven
lives. I look into a persons eyes and see into

their soul. It’s like looking into glass eyes,
seeing what makes them whole. I look beyond the
physical and into another realm, beyond today
and tomorrow; diving into joy and sorrow. Everyone

desires real love. The real love that’s
here and now comes from above. It’s softer
then the softest fabric, smooth like silk.
It runs through your blood like fire.

It nourishes like a babys milk.
This love is unique and compares to no other.
This love is the mother of all mothers.
It's the burning love of fire and pain.

The burning love of all the elements that
keeps us sustained. This love will conquer
destruction and demise. Look up and beyond the
sky and observe the glass eyes.
