Cold water flashes of childhood
Red hot stove reminding me
I am blinded, no I was.
Our life at war
Everyone a soldier, you a captain
Blinded me with homemade bombs
And fireworks for celebration.
Oh my, let us float down
To where we can be

Blind some more,
The only way to see.

© Claire E., Bethesda, MD

The author's comments:
Perhaps, being blind to society, and its corruption... will allow us to see the beauty of nature and life around us.
