Not Seen



Not Seen

Look beyond the face you see, even that of a pretty bee
Usually you can’t see the fight to be or be free
Afflictions are felt that systematically leave welts
Delicate border between well and when it’s felt

It’s the daily grimace that’s the furnace
Flames of malice trying to burn determination’s chalice of solace
Weakness’s face is relieved behind the closed door
You see, fear of emotional poverty frightens with its picture of poor

The physical blight goes on regardless of belief or not
Rationalization or justification is belief’s relief untying that tricky knot
Whichever eases or strengthens, the believer or the atheist
Either end is what’s good for and gets you thru’ the blight

So lets be empathetic when next we view each other
We don’t know the future and one day most will be afflicted with bother
It’s a merry world eased with elixirs of gin and caffeine
Ignore the naysayers that act as if they’re chocolate’s kin
