PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I like to walk without my glasses

for then my world’s a hazy blur.

Nothing I see is crystal clear

it’s all a bit obscure.

The longer I walk

the more all objects and colors interplay.

It’s as if I’m walking through a world

that was painted by Monet.

When I see people on my walk

whether or not I know their name

I cannot tell their color, their sex or their religion

for they all look the same.

Which means just like in a library

when I’m searching for a book

I have to withhold my judgement

Until I have a closer look.

Which also means and I know in the world we live in now

this sounds bizarre

but I can’t judge people by what they look like

I have to judge them by who they are. 

So I wonder…

Would our world be a happier, more peaceful place

if we somehow found a way

for all our eyes to see the world

like a painting my Monet?
