We think we're smart but we're just blind

by Sharon -Aquarius- - Not entered

As it turns slowly, surrounded by darkness we sleep 
Unnoticing and unmoving as opportunities slip by us
It's dullness increases as we progress and reveal sombre traces of our transparent personalities
We smile, laugh and cry, our lives intercepted by a fate which we've created
As we destroy ourselves uncertainly our irrational behaviour makes a mockery of us
Unrelentlessly it's beauty dazzles our tainted eyes
We contaminate ourselves purposely and murder our brothers for our own self-indulgence
No one knows of it's anguish, of the horrors it has seen or of the plague that has been forced upon it as it watches us kill one another and itself

Reason for writing:

    We've got to appreciate what we have now, when we have nothing it is to late.
