Eyes Art Wide-Open


This wisdom written in words, is a document of salvation.

Bonded with clarity, wherefore restoration is needed for this nation.

Thou art young-minded, drowning in illiterate doctrine.

Ignorant to the fact that, being naïve is obnoxious.

Don’t view the uncertainty & unknown with fear.

In the words of William Shakespeare.

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

Stay alert and mobile, until life is done.

Never turn a blind-eye to malicious actions.

Even if your government is the source of these actions.

Have a code of honor that doesn’t decline in integrity.

Let your behavior become your legacy.

Now, realizing that this world is a broken system.

Dirty to clean, now, thou eyes art wide-open.
