With Blinders On

When horses pulled a plow back then,
Before the tractors did,
Sometimes they were distracted when
They saw something amid

Surrounding lands with bushes that
Might have something among
Their branches, leaves worth looking at
Like critters and their young.

Restricting field of vision can
Reduce the chances they
Might not go where the farmer planned
And wander their own way.

Some people wander like a horse
Through life and don't achieve
A single goal they set, of course,
Since "blinders" not conceived.
