Society 's bind or blind

Lisa Paulina McBride 1974 (Cape Town)

Blank verse
My facade is effective
Oh so very real
No One dares to question
The illusion that is me
After all we see
Only
What we wish to see

About this poem

We live in a fast paced world with trite and superficial interactions We ask how are you We get an answer of ok It satisfies us And we fail to see the tears hovering in a friend eye Society are becoming more blind and superficial Thus we as a society are in a bind ,bound tighter than we thought
