Blind To Circles

Again, drag your fingers ‘cross my face, forgery 
I hate it when you touch me.
Make me close my eyes
Bow to your name I can’t respect. 
Turmoil tangles veins of knowledge, I have 
Inconsistency to paralyze me. 
You do not know me, shadow 
No, ghost, you cannot lie 
To shut my eyes
I believe in light and angels.  

Take the halo from my rim 
Fellow sinners 
Replace it with broken mirrors, one for each of you. 
Use me, abuse me, learn from 
My transgressions 
I know you see likeness in my 
Silhouettes 
You miss the point, follier 
Blind to circles and redundancy 
You pattern  
Towers of lost butterflies.  

Don’t you see, little man 
Son of my mistake 
I fell to it, but yet I’ve learned 
So that you may know 
Ignorance is bliss. 
Accountable to knowledge  
We become pencils. 
So change this world
Because you’ve seen it.
It is yours. 
Hug yourprostitutes 
Fix yourburningbuildings. 
Pray to the beckoning artist of it all
Born holier than kings
In a barn of dirt and rags
I see it now 
To reassure everyone
“no one is too low for me.” 
This is my open eye, angel.
