Near sighted

Near sighted

A Poem by Soren

Distracted by a white picket fence, thought painted home my defense
An ideal love with children there, growing green grass not a care
While all around the world turns, people die while peace burns
Under a blackened sky, I turn a closed myopic eye

A poignant write for our times. We all need a haven of safety particularly in these times of world conflict. An escape mechanism. An escape from the harsh realities taking place under our noses. It doesn’t mean we don’t care. It can often mean we are hurting too much. Have a beautiful day Soren.
