the world through blue eyes

Contributed by twick on Thursday, 9th October 2008 @ 04:46:48 AM in AEST
Topic: oops

I look through the scope of uncompromising clarity.
I'm not sure I count but I am
among thousands and they populate huge towns.
The streets are littered with down on your luck bucks
who can't buy a break
but keep moving for "just in case."

I see cruelty and carelessness
on the faces that don't care
as they're walking through shiny revolving doors
on their way to the forty-fouth floor.
After their conference calls
and brainwashing sessions,
they break for lunch,
moving toward the windows,
eating their corporate paid sushi,
to watch with joy those down below and their suffering.

Those people in the streets are burdened
with heavy hearts and heavy shoulders
ready to buckle for all
that they couldn't handle.

I stand at the corner
because I haven't decided which person to be.
I don't like carelessness or greed,
but I'm not strong enough for a life too heavy to breathe.

And yet the ones on the ground have hope in their eyes,
and stay honest for a belief in better times,
waiting for change that evens the score,
but it's my eyes that see both worlds
and they are far from happy.

So I look at the ground and watch the plants and bugs
struggling through the concrete,
completely out of place,
I am not content in any case.

If someone could show me the beauty
I couldn't seem to find
these blue eyes
could accept what they see
and look for it in every living thing.
