Blind Eyes and Black Hearts

Are you blind out of comfort, out of spite, or out of ignorance?

Black skin in a land of black hearts
Who’ll gladly black eyes for black cards.

Try their best to turn your light into a black one.

I’m talking real blue.
Dull the shine that once revealed truth.

But that’s okay.

If you don’t focus on hues,
you can put that blue to some use.
Start revealing the dirt that’s not in everyone’s view.

Everything’s cool…

Until the ones they’ve misused,
start to own their ability to use their light as a tool.

You tried to change it for the worse,
instead you hipped us to clues.

Y’all are blind to the stains
but we revealed more than a few.

Y’all’s favorite quote is out of sight and out of mind.
Fail to review your inside for an out of kind.

Refusing to believe the dirt from your work
that’s built up over time.
