wiser eyes
I scraped through your treacherous lies
like an ignoramus seeking wiser eyes
It was not the lies that matter so much
or that my verbal weapons would pack a punch
It was your total disregard for our humanity
the blind eye turned to the basics of sanity
Wish you could experience all that we encountered
The times that left our souls and minds battered
Now even I wish I had wiser eyes
To spiritualize your lies
