Art : Eyes
I have lived a long life
I have seen many eyes
They no longer surprise
Some eyes are innocent
Some eyes are full of life
I am afraid of eyes I cannot read
I haven’t met that type of breed
All eyes are black and white
All eyes have dark and light
Y’all try to close your eyes
When you tell lies
Some eyes are full of hatred
I avoid those eyes
Those eyes can read mine
And realize they are being supervised
Some eyes seek attention
They want to be televised
Don’t look into me, you’ll only see a fraction
My eyes are traumatized
Some eyes show admiration
Some eyes show gratitude
Some eyes show attitude
They look down on you, on some altitude
No eye can hide from that latitude
Some eyes are empty, really sad, I emphasize
You see red eyes, then yours turn red, you create ties
Oh, they synchronize when you empathize
Some eyes compel
Some eyes hypnotize
Strong ties with the sire
Some eyes inspire
Some eyes conspire
Some eyes plot, evil eyes

As if they are sharing guns
Some eyes are fake
Some eyes pretend
Born with no sight
The doc was real, guys
He said, “Life will hurt”
“I want to hear no cries”
Lesson memorized
Then got circumcised
Some eyes are shy
Some eyes are dry
Some eyes don’t cry
Some eyes don’t try
Some eyes seduce
To your demise
Some eyes link up through you
Some eyes look up to you
No role models, to see how they were excelling
I had no wealth or good health
So I put the mirror in my ceiling
So I can look up to myself
Some eyes are in denial
Some eyes smile
Fake smiles look senile
Some eyes you recognize,in their disguise
Seeking approval from wrong allies
I have seen so many side eyes
So, I decided to side with some wise guys
Now watch me fall and rise
And let those eyes mesmerize
