Abused By Illusions

Separated by Windows



A homeless man peers in the window of society

deaf and dumb to what the old house offers him.

The wealthy parishioner stares out the window of society

blind to what the homeless man offers to the old house.

A psychically scarred veteran stares in the window of society

no longer able to feel what the old house might offer him.

The ambitious politician stares out the window of society

blinded to what the veteran has left to offer the old house.

A frail mentally ill man peers in the window of society

numbed to what the old house might still offer him.

The pompous psychiatrist looks out the window of society

unable to analyze the mentally ill man’s import to the old house.

A hopeless convict peers in the window of society

but fails to steal a hint of how the old house might need him.

The pretentious judge stares out the window of society

but fails to judge where the convict might still fit within the old house.



Each blind to the stone which sits at their feet!
