The Eyes Have It

By Benjamin Ferreira

The eyes have it,
Everything you could ever need
The eyes have it,
They’re filled with greed
The eyes have it,
Now you’ve done the deed
The eyes have it,
Hurry, with due speed
Windows to the soul,
Unspoken and unseen
The wonders of this world,
The wonders of a dream
Anticipation always overwhelms the act
Anatomical,
Mechanical,
It’s a simple fact
Intellectual curses of the unoccupied mind
Illusionary secrets, always striving to find
A pattern in the chaos, a reason for our tears
A meaning to the emptiness that fills our years.
