Cover Your Eyes

Such a title to hold

Of ‘being a human’, that is

The one not wanting to see

The one not wanting to speak

You give to us

Such impression of being aware

But beneath that glory that feeds your ego

You’re hollow and empty and I ask –

how do you dare?

You know nothing

As nothing knows of you,

Bury those lying stories

Before they bury you.

You say your eyes see all

But I see nothing in those eyes

Cover your eyes

So you see nothing – to match the darkness within

And you won’t hear anything

Important enough to feel
