What do we see through the eyes of man?
The sun shining bright on a summer’s day
Or the dark grey storm-clouds of winter?
What do we see through the eyes of man?
The beauty of youth in a red dress
Or the empathy of ageing in a wheelchair?
What do we see through the eyes of man?
The stupidity of ignorance in those who know it all
Or the well-utilised knowledge of those who want to learn?
What do we see through the eyes of man?
The arrogance of a man who knows no better
Or the humility of a woman who compliments others?
What do we see through the eyes of man?
The stupidity of a bureaucrat who builds a kingdom through procedure
Or the spirit of an entrepreneur building his kingdom through invention?
What do we see through the eyes of man?
Regret for past mistakes that encapsulate our life
Or the promise of the future where trust and faith abound?
What do we see through the eyes of man?
The sun shining ever brighter, even in winter
Or dark clouds surrounding our thunderous end?
What do we see through the eyes of man?
Is it death, destruction and dissatisfaction
Or does life, belief and hope truly spring eternal?
