The Eyes of Society

Layne Brock 1978 (Nanaimo)



The Eyes of Society



The realization of what is real

Judgements of people and what they feel

Understanding today is mysterious

Each individual lives in curious

What we overlook and what we say

How we work by building on each day

Some go living without a clue

Of what comes easy to me and you

Appreciation for what was

Future precendents on because

But what we find inside our minds

Is a passing days and all our time

To choose goodness over notoriety

Open the eyes of today's socitey

About this poem
