I love the world when I take off my glasses

No words no numbers just big blobby masses

Ignorance is bliss when I cannot read my taxes

I fear no one because they all look the same

No each and every one of you has the same amount of fame

And with a flick of my hand so ends humanity's beauty contest game

I know I might miss out of some perception

But honestly the need for shape is a misconception

Concave or convex even contacts trust me it's all deception

So walk around in the glow of moonlight

I assure you the stars will shine brighter at night

Without glasses I can tell you this

Souls are all you will see when you give your new loves a kiss

Posted by Zombie Punk 2008-07-09 10:03:52 .... This was pretty good. Nice simple theme. The rhymes fit perfectly. I like the last line the best, though: "Without glasses i can tell you this, souls is all you will see when you give you new love a kiss" great poem + Report this comment
Posted by Dirkin 2008-07-09 10:06:12 .... A bit of lighthearted rhyming. I dont wear glasses so its hard to imagine, except when I wake up first thing if theres so much sleep in my eyes I can barely open them and its all blurry + Report this comment

Posted by Zombie Punk 2008-07-09 11:53:40 .... Try seeing with only one eye at a time, it fucking sucks + Report this comment
Posted by Kasi elaborated 2008-07-09 12:42:09 .... I don't wear glasses either, I bet sometimes it would be better to with out them... "Sorry I dont have my galsses today". You could get out of alot... I couldn't imagine having to wear contacts, I cant get close to my eyes with anything. Good poem, I enjoyed your rhymes! + Report this comment
Posted by Something Indecent 2008-07-09 12:52:59 .... Great poem! I used to have glasses but got lasik a couple of years ago. Everytime I took mine off it was like an electric fuzz surrounding me. I like the whimsical way you play with the poem. Good job. + Report this comment

Posted by Hodders 2008-07-09 13:34:48 .... I liked it, I know what you're talking about because I wear glasses and I'm beginning to hate them! Very thought provoking poem here, it puts across a clear message. I liked it! + Report this comment
Posted by lemon 2008-07-09 14:24:22 .... i liked the message here, but i found it difficult to settle into a rhythm. but whatever, it was interesting and different. =] + Report this comment
Posted by r.e.potter 2008-07-09 14:47:33 .... Very insightful with a deep meaning. Sometimes(most times)beauty is deep within, if only we were all blind when choosen mates for quality over quanity, personality over physical attributes. Being blind would help in those situations.

Posted by CliffMitchell 2008-07-09 20:47:15 .... A great message conveyed in an easily read manner. The seeing eye is a troublesome sight at times— bringing unwanted knowledge, and without it's sense: bliss-dulled visions of wanted ignorance. + Report this comment
Posted by Amatayo 2008-07-10 01:23:55 .... This was really good. Thought that this should have been a solid five. I think that this was very cleverly put together especially the beginning. yeah + Report this comment
Posted by Pilgrim 2008-07-10 11:13:13 Wonderful This was really good. If only everyone could see the world this way. Then maybe people would realize we are all the same. My favorite part was the second verse (or stanza, whatever it is,) because we are all the same. No one is better than any one else and beauty really should not play a factor in any judgments on any one. I think this was wonderful + Report this comment
Posted by chaabuk 2008-07-23 19:32:05 .... So, you prescribe we should go without reading glasses or sun glasses. On a poetic level, we can go without glasses to only view all with minds eye. But in the physical world, it'd be too too difficult to survive. + Report this comment
