“Who Are We?”

A Poem by G. A. Bernard

Our eyes look out at the world from lenses formed by our past experiences
Older eyes often need help from glasses while the young see the world through rose-colored lenses
To see the truth we all may need to look into our hearts and minds to remove the plaque of opinions we have accumulated over time
Few seem able to wipe away the filth from years of viewing the world the way they have been indoctrinated to see it 
It may be that we all have to close our eyes and push back from our own experiences and listen to see who we really are from this new lens of objectivity
