SightA Poem by E.J. WalingSight.
Visual. Shell. What’s on the outside. What’s visible, reflecting light. Judgement, based on the visible. Worth, based on the visible. Survival, based on the visible world. Missing the point. Shallow thought. Reflecting on visible cues. Evolved to function in the visible world. Survival. Visual acuity required. Finely tuned, needed to survive. Inside. What’s not visible. Less evolved. Less able to pierce the visible. See inside to where the soul resides. Understanding, less evolved. Acuity, less evolved. Looking through the visible, past the shell. Less evolved. Primitive. Based on survival, animal instincts. Seeing the inside. Divining the soul, a universe unto itself. Humanities greatest challenge. Key to ultimate survival! © 2021 E.J. Waling |
