LIFE

Would it  not be foolish
not to see what is glaring
right in front of us?
Or have our hearts become
So blackened
It no longer belongs to us?
Would it not be foolish
not to see 
so much evil 
we have caused
and how many lives 
We have  
only because we
could not admit 
to our selfish souls?
The bitter truth 
that caused much pain...
instead, 
we choose to stay in 
our beautiful lies
The lies of you and I
The one that keeps us
awake at night
Simply because
It seems more comforting
