MYOPIA

Submitted by Sheddie on Sat, 2023-09-16 18:23

If we can
see the what the future wears
Before it ripens in our hands,
Will we think to live this way or
Otherwise.

If we could see beyond the thick veil
Of myopia roughly eating vision away
Into the place of dementia, establishing craze.
If there's no myopia, will our space be an utopia?

Changing the wheels of everyone's dream,
No long eyeshot, no near goals,
Blurry visions, scared knowledge
When are we going to be free from Myopia?
