Our days and nights are blind like Homer, blind

And seeing, deep and wide, but still inept.

Time carries us through life but like a mind

Confused through madness.  Life remains adept

At fraud, poetically and just with scales

Upon its prose like Saul when Christ had vouched

A perfect vision of a god with nails

In both his palms.  When Saul of Tarsus crouched

Disabled in a sightless room, dark life

Was time’s new prophecy, its gospel taught

As blackness.  Saul had specialized in strife.

The zealot found a blank he had not sought.

..A 20/20 revelation brings

….A blinding insight, one that mutes us, sings.
