Is it such an important flaw?
Is that the only thing we can see?
Is that why girls tear each other down mentally like land mines exploding incessantly in a war zone?
Is that why politicians argue constantly over what they believe others believe like chains of gossiping whispers?
Is that why families are broken apart into fragments like smashed mirrors lying on the ground?
Is that why races will never break the vicious of discrimination like cannibals feasting on each other?
Is that why corruption will flourish through the world like ivy vines breaking down once strong cathedrals?
Is that why thieves, rapist, and murderers run free like wolves attacking a flock through the broken fence?
Is that why wars are won on body counts rather than land earned like picking spoiled fruit from the ground rather than from the tree?
Is that why God chose not to dwell in a world where these sins run free and untamed like the ravenous dogs in black allies?
Is that really the only thing we can see?
Is the human race truly so blind?
Or are we just too thoughtless to open our eyes?

Just something I thought of, kind of old at this point but still one of my favorites that I've done.
