Knowing

Do you see it all?
Then how do you know?
Watch us fall,
And stop our foe

Tell me,
Does the sun rise for you?
Is it simply a tug of Fate?
How could you know,
If your eyes do not search
And your ears refuse to listen.

Be blind,
as you wish.

Life is not immortal
When made to choose,
How will you know?

Eventually,
the sun will not rise
For you.

I was inspired to write this while thinking about how ignorant people are and how others judge without thinking first. I hope people will read this and really think next time they say or think something awful about someone they don't know.
