Behind Closed Eyes Poem by Lodigiana Poetess
Behind Closed Eyes
Behind closed eyes I see a world
where every man is free.
Where politics creates a state
of prosperous liberty
With eyes closed tight I see goodwill
and peace to men on earth,
each human soul achieves its goal
and each man knows his worth
Through shuttered lids I only see
a misty shaded grey,
where no one colour dominates
or tries to rule the day
The shade of eyelids you would think
have kept me from the light,
but in the darkness even more
shines out the wrongs from right
The judgements we make carelessly
on our beliefs and lives,
we only value wealth and power
it helps this world survive
With open eyes the world around
is battered and unkind.
Injustice, pain and hurt abound
I think I will stay blind
Wonderful poem Lodigiana! Great beat and flow to it and a superbly written message to reflect on.The sad truth revealed and politely hidden. The ostrich policy many today choose. Thank you for this and congrats again for yesterday's POD This Hand. Both superb! 10++ and added to favs. Thanks again Lodigiana and take care.
Thank you so much Shaun, it is, i’m afraid, a sad reality that so often it’s easier to look behind closed eyes and see only what we want to see and studiously avoid the sights that we know we should work to change...so sad really and not a very good portrait of Mankind’ Really lovely to receive your comments as always, thank you so much for your encouragement and support.

The judgements we make carelessly on our beliefs and lives, we only value wealth and power it helps this world survive With open eyes the world around is battered and unkind. Injustice, pain and hurt abound I think I will stay blind //// greatly written the earthly eyes see everything on the base of biassed; need to open the true eyes of conscience to judge neutrally!
You are so right Mahtab! Our conscience is telling us clearly where injustice and wrong lies..but still too many of us push that aside and look at the world through closed eyes so as not to have to face or more importantly, change, those things that need changing.Lovely, wise comments that I thank you for.Lodigiana x
