Instead

Being cast the blind line
makes the eye
see the lie.

Instead

We turn
a blind eye
to the lie.

IMHO no truer words were ever spoken or written. I agree with everyone here too. This is short, but very to the point. I wonder just how our president is seeing the lie? Thanx for sharing MaryAngela.
