Thousand Eyes

Our vision has been multiplied,

by at least a thousand eyes.

Cell phones working everywhere,

drones conquering skies.

With much more acuity,

and capabilities galore,

our eyes could not before,

change their point of view.

While there are still deceptions,

that this capability portends,

so far we can't discern it,

for the most part, it depends.

We have always been deceived,

by eyewitness accounts,

our brain interprets our vision,

and all of its ins and outs.

A storyteller tells a tale,

our brain fills its vision out.

The vision may be true or not,

a lot remains in doubt.

When the story is complete,

filled out with sight and sound.

we can't tell whether it is real or not,

through experience we have found.

From a lifetime of seeing things,

and storing them away.

To compare with any new vision,

that may be coming our way.

Like DNA genome sequencing,

our vision is immensely enhanced.

We now can discern much more,

than we did relying on happenstance.

We now have a vision of the universe,

that we never could see before.

The more we understand each other,

the better we can go fore once more.
