An Eye

A voice lightened the dew

It sands of the peace and prosperity it knew

Hope guided its music

Making people dance in their beautiful tunics.

What was this unknown feeling in the sky?

That made the living and the spirits high

A promise from the young to the old 

Of change and everything gold.

A boy with hope in his heart

Making all the sadness depart

With it hopelessness and fear

Of losing someone you hold dear.

The people appreciated his ambiguity

And found his actions held beauty

It had been long since someone had come

And helped the town from being held down.

The near found wonder in his eccentrics

And pondered his motives 

For very few ever aid

With selflessness their only maid.

But you only saw red

For revenge was the only thing you were ever fed

How dare someone foresees!

The person you once tried to be.

So you punched the boy

Whose voice held nothing but joy

And red was what lifted the weight 

That your shoulders forever kept.

An eye is what you wanted

An eye is what will leave you haunted 

As the songbird's voice was clamped

A mute that once made the town undamped.

The boy wept 

And the crowd cursed, whispered, and crept

But not one did help 

When the boy let out that agonizing yelp.

You return home 

Tried and alone

Revenge didn't fill the void 

Which you so wishfully wanted to avoid.

Everything is grey 

As you beg, you pray

For that had taken your colors away.

You feel guilty for hurting the boy

Who still, had hoped to the toy.

You dust your wings and jump 

It had been too long since you had seen the up above.

But your wing was clipped

And Karma chirped

So down you fell 

And humanity did hail

For what they saw was a death of a bully

They say, "An eye for an eye leads to a blind man."

In a world full of disabilities

An eye is what you pay for normality.
