We are all Blind

The world looks at a silver coating
draped over the truth that is existence
and what we aim for throughout
never letting truth see the sun.

Superficial glances as if the body
is everlasting, a simple set identity
But in the ignorance, logic is overlooked
love discarded, faith torn apart.

The visual held supreme above all
You act like nothing else matters
As if you sit and stare, never speaking
Something to observe, never truly be.

You act like you deserve the best
but your thoughts and desires are silly
These fantasies will remain just that
nothing more than follies and wishes.

In a mind clouded by an ego
that will get you into trouble one day
You yourself once said that the world
was superficial and that sickened you.

Everyone claims their white face
and clasps onto this facade with
claw-like hands, almost beast like.

There are no free men, all are
shackled to this, no hope for escape
Claim what you will, the eyes
never focus past the haze
Don't deny, you are guilty.

You took my heart and made me
believe that you saw past
the horrible decorum in this world
You sick liar, never speak to me
All that will come is tears and pain
Break my heart, why don't you
Break it!
So I can pick up the pieces
and move on with my life.

At least, for most of the questions in my heart, like
Why are we here and where do we go
And how come it's so hard”

This tells the cold hard truth about real life. I admire this piece of work and consider it greatly beautiful. In a way, we all truly are blind to the world around us. Keep writing for the sake of writing and maintain your own beliefs if no one will listen to them.
Look down and show some mercy if you can.
Look down, look down, upon your fellow man.

This was really powerful. I love the flow of it. I could visualize this being performed in a poetry slam with emotion in every word.
