[ The Eyes Are Useless When The Mind Is Blind ]
[ They Can’t Help You See ]
[ That Your Actions @ The Moment Will Put You In
A Bind ]
[ A Closed Mind Will Never Let You Hear ]
[ When Something That Used To Be So Far Away ]
[ Is Now Very Near ]
[ When You Have Those Times When You Think That The
World Stops @ The Tip Of Your Nose ]
[ You Will Find Out That The Consequences You Get ]
[ May Be The Results Of The Choices That You Chose ]
[ On This Path That You Are Now Walking On ]
[ Life Can Become Fragile & Temporary ]
[ You Could Wake Up One Morning & All That You Have
Grown To Love Is Now All Gone ]
[ Maybe @ The Fork In The Road In Your Life ]
[ You Hastily Decided To Go Left ]
[ Before Everyone Else Went Right ]
[ It Is Not So Much That You Took The Easier Low Road ]
[ But It Seemed @ Times ]
[ That You Made Everyone Around You See That You Hardly
Ever Pulled Your Own Load ]
[ Society Knows That They Are A Social Bunch ]
[ Always Loving Companionship For Dinner, Breakfast Or
Lunch ]
[ A Possible Reason Why Society Is Bitter, Anti-Social & Mean ]
[ May Be Because This Virus ]
[ Made Everybody Self Quarantine ]
[ Social Deprivation Can Have Very Harmful Effects]
[ It Can Cause Some People To Disrespect ]
[ Others That They Suspect ]
[ That May Have Contracted & Spread The COVID-19
Deadly Virus ]
[ That Is Harming & Killing Us ]
[ With A Closed Mind, So Goes Your Vision ]
[ A Closed Mind Can Also Cause Division ]
[ Amongst The Family & Friends That Would Always
Stand By Your Side ]
[ Would It Affect Your Pride ]
[ When You Found Out Who Had Constantly Lied ]
[ To Your Face? ]
[ If You Were Not Sure ]
[ Who They Were ]
[ Would You Want To Know Which Girl, Which Guy? ]
[ If So, Why? ]
[ When The Water Gets Turbulent For The Fair Weathered
Friends They Are The First One’s To Bail ]
[ They Will No Longer Return Your Calls ]
[ Or Respond To Your Numerous, Inquiring Emails ]
[ They Will Look & Find ]
[ The Smallest Reasons ]
[ To Erase The Thoughts About You In Their Mind ]
[ & Then Become Devoid Of All Compassion ]
[ As They Decide To Leave You Behind ]
[ You Will Feel That Their Mind Has Shut Off & Shut Down ]
[ So Where Once Your Eyes Saw Pretty Colors ]
[ All They See Now Is Grays & Browns ]
[ But Do Not Lower Yourself & Walk In Their Footsteps ]
[ & Then Do That To Others ]
[ Because You Know How It Feels To Be Left ]
[ By Your Mother & Brothers ]
[ A Closed Mind Prevents You From Growing Throughout
The Upcoming Days, Months & Years ]

From The Shedding Of Tears ]
[ Open Your Mind & Eyes Then Take The Headphones Off
Of Your Ears ]
[ & Your Head ]
[ Then Make A Stand To Listen To What Is Said Right Here ]
[ Instead ]
[ Of Trying To Listen To What Is Going On Over There ]
[ For If It Involved You]
[ You Would Hope That They Would Share ]
[ It With You, Too ]
[ Don’t Say ( NOPE ) ]
[ & Jump Ship ]
[ Because You Felt There Was No Hope ]

Awhile ]
[ & Give You Their Best Smile ]
[ All The While ]
[ Wondering What Is Going On Down The Road About A Mile ]
[ Then You Come To Realize Some Close Minded People
Never Intend To Change ]
[ They Feel In Their Mind That Would Be Doing Something
Extremely Strange ]
[ That Is When You Decide To Rearrange Your Priorities
& Make Better Use Of Your Effort & Time ]
[ If You Choose To Put One More Minute Into Them ]
[ That Would Be The Most Egregious Crime ]
