Blinds of Folly

A streak of light From the opening in her blinds A golden delight But how, if all dreams end when the day unwinds;

A dystopian society She sees better with her eyes closed A humankind without humanity Perhaps they are misdiagnosed;

A heart that yearns For sense and serenity A city that burns With envy and enmity;

A doleful plight That has become their reality A sinful sight Perhaps past redemption but deep-down persists morality;

If only a wise man or woman shall lift the blinds of folly Oblivion and ignorance shall be expelled from all minds An outlook of welfare said to be godly A pledge to nobler upbringing that unites all kinds.
