The curse of the cure Sept. 27, 2013

 


 If you tell yourself

often enough you may be healed,

then maybe you will be

like that blind man

on the side of the road

When Christ passed by

The Son of God takes pity on him,

restores his sight,

a miracle made out of mercy,

the blind man may not deserve,

maybe even regretting later

when bearing witness

to the horrors of the world

Each cure coming

 With a curse of awareness

The awakening to the fact

We have put faith in shadows

Thinking they were real

The scalding sunlight unbearable

Outside the cave,

Making his plead to return

Only we can never go back,

Never unsee,

And must roam the earth

Bearing the burden of shame

Over having failed to have recognized

Somethings that are

Pure evil.
