These eyes

Eyes of Knowledge

Tired, grizzled look of one
who has seen it all through
eyes glinting with mirth
looking at the world, laughing within.

Walk with me through the labyrinth of time
See all I have seen
through these worldly eyes,
step through to my world

Love, hot, burning love
see the one who had it all
how intoxicating it was, exhilarating,
it all went away, driven away by envy, obsessiveness

Stick in the mouth
glass in hand
dance a jig
on the corridors of destruction

These eyes have seen it all
decency lost in a heartbeat to prejudices bottled up,
unleashed to the delight of the destructive
chaos, anarchy everywhere!
