Blinded by the conflict

by Michael LoMonaco   Nov 5, 2016


As raw emotions controls our mind,
Righteousness is blinded by hatred.

Peace is blind-folded through revenge,
Leading to no sight for a truce.

In order to see harmony at the end of the light,
That dark mask must come off to discover all viewpoints.

Once sight can explore all opinions,
Your brain will see perfect vision.

Forming a pact that was once brutal,
Changing into a civil agreement with many possibilities.

    So very true. We put on blinders and become so tunnel visioned in the pursuit of whatever our cause is, whether it's good or bad, right or wrong. I like how you stated that if you just step back and really open your eyes you might see things so much clearer. Well done-
