BLINDED
            S.K. Earl

Close your eyes
Turn your head
Don’t react
We’ll soon be dead
Hear the cries
Not the lies…

Just pretend
It will end
Don’t respond
We’re being conned
Hear the cries
Not the lies…

Life is short
Hard to sort
Understand
While we can
Hear the cries
Not the lies…

Why do I speak
What do I seek
To live life
Free of strife
Hear the cries
Not the lies…

What do I need
Why do I weep
Don’t ignore
Don’t close the door
Hear the cries
Not the lies…

I pray for you
I pray for me
I pray so hard
For our land of the free
Ease the cries
Stop the lies….

Author’s note: I know you want to hide inside, say all’s good, don’t make a fuss. But everyday, we’re losing us…. If you won’t read, if you won’t speak, please just open your heart and pray for our USA.
