OPENING ONE’S EYES

OPENING ONE’S EYES

It’s a strange thing –

to really know,

to really understand,

to see with one’s

own eyes.

It’s strange because

we live in a blind world.

To open one’s eyes

to this beautiful world

is to feel a great,

profound, simple joy.

One can’t get tired –

that concept

becomes impossible!

One’s eyes are open and it

is infinitude really.

One goes on then,

to do a hundred things.

One laughs at pain,

sadness, the

negatives of life…

One becomes cold,

unsocial, cruel, harsh,

yet one is the only one

who is infinitely

kind, patient,

loving and sweet!

One takes on the whole world!

One can’t but find the

strength, the drive,

the energy to do work that is

unbelievably right and good!

One derives one’s deepest joy,

fulfillment, meaning

from that great task.

One wins!

One has to –

the roads are clear

in a blind world….

One goes at top speed.

To win becomes a natural thing

because a void hungers

for filling, for fulfillment…

It’s such men who keep the

world going- the men

who open their eyes

who really see,

who really understand.

The world can be won.

Unreality can be fought

by living really and

showing mankind the

emptiness of

unreality and the

beauty of real living…

The worst crime

is to be blind

when God has gifted us eyes!

To open one’s eyes

is to open oneself

to the beauty, joy and

splendour of

truly understanding,

knowing and creating!
