When we close our eyes And when we stop caring That's when Good dies And Evil comes thriving. When we close our eyes And pretend all is well We condone the lies That our leaders tell. When we fail to see What goes on around us We may lose liberty And not make a fuss. We may slowly be chained And our freedoms taken Check and balance may wane And we may not awaken. Our country may fall Into deep debts and ills Then Poverty calls That may drain peoples' will. A people in Apathy Is ready food for Greed, A great Love for country Is what we will need. To ignite Patriotism Our pen will set fire Words of great Wisdom We hope people acquire. We pray Good will arise In whatever we write When we close our eyes We know we have done right. ��

Very good poem indeed. It has been said that in order for tyranny to flourish, all that is required is for good people to do nothing!

To be sure one never should close one's eyes, then the surprises will be not so horrendous as they are. People with closed eyes can pretend being blind, the blind can say they never saw it coming!

"We pray Good will rise, In whatever we write; When we close our eyes, And know we have done right."
Amen, Cynthia. Just one thing tho. Don't call them "our leaders." They are nothing but greedy a-- dictators in disguise. Our real leader is God. Well said, my friend. God bless.
