Like the camaraderie of the needle and thread, does honesty compliment the eye of humanity.
In a world painted in vanity, illusions and the ego cloudburst of many ego clashing smoke-bombs.
I look to see, see deeply and look.
To find...who I truly am with an honest and self-critical eye.
Which color do I graffiti this chaotic and smoky world with?
How do I make needle meet thread and honesty inhabit my eye... The ultimate confluence.
How do I get beyond my own EGO?
The Honest Eye
// poetry
The honest eye,
Never seen an honest suit & tie,
The wall of the ego incarcerates honesty,
Honestly scaling this wall, the weightless shall fly.
A panoramic glance upon matters
How many can get out of their own way?
It’s your ego dimming down the honest eye,
In your own prison of delusion you stay.
Then you ask…
Why there’s no growth?
As though flipping a switch has ever
Begotten an overnight spurt forth.
That’s the eye clouding dirt
That honesty disdains.
An eye of deceit and delusion,
Lives through many consequences and pains.
I look at the mirror
The eye within my reflection began to speak;
This world projects truth for lies
An inflamed honest eye shuddered to be weak.
I broke the mirror with my fist
Of the unpalatable reflection I began to see;
Was accomplice to the character the world was seeking to create,
The teary-eyed clown far from truth was ME!
Calling out a flimsily constructed illusion
The set piece of the “world-room” did I pan…
Did they really land on the moon?
The last shred of honesty housed in the improbable Mr. Can?
A limited man playing genius on screen
Challenging the undisputed Creator of the World,
Not one rocket has one witnessed victoriously maneuvering,
At the outset was the destiny of the rocket disastrously hurled.
In your lane must you stay…
Delusion and propaganda could snap back on one’s head;
If there’s any more itch to "colonize Mars" and mortality,
Restrain those skyrocketing insatiable urges and go to bed.
An honest eye… looks inward,
Quick to regroup, recalibrate and mutate.
If you’re a delusional pony from heaven seeking some fame,
Know that there’s an Honest Eye detector at the “Growth gate”.
