open your eyes
close your ears

close your ears
open your eyes

listen to the
words you see

you’re blind
to what you hear

listen to the
words you see

do not fear
the fruit beneath

reach for roots
beneath the trees

listen to the
words you seek

don’t listen to
a word they say

do not listen to
a word you’ve heard

do not listen to
a word you’ve heard

people are people
we live for our own

live how you think
not by what
you’ve been told

what would it be like if we spent more time listening to the words we think and speak and less time listening to the words we hear. not that we shouldn’t listen. but what if we placed more of an emphasis on ourselves and less on others. taking more responsibility for our own actions.

can we use our senses in different ways? can we listen with our eyes? see with our ears? taste with our nose? or smell with our mouths? an interesting thought.
