We See Too Little

With our eyes wide shut,
we see too little.
And we mislabel smut.

We cannot bear the thought
that we do not know
what we think we ought.

The shadows rule.
Ever more overtly
they use us as a tool.

The powers that be
darken the world.
Until only they can see.

They cannot bear the Light.
But if they can only bring
a permanent night....

And what are we to do?
Other than shut closed our minds.
We think those who know are too few.

Given the signs of the times,
perhaps there is nothing we can do...
and nothing more rhymes.
