In the end

Through morphine glossed eyes, she took her last look
Of the daughter who caused her pain
never again to see a sight
or try to help -- in vane

Transparency

the now is not all it's cracked up to be

the now is nothing without a little transparency

an overlay to set atop

all the things that you forgot

or maybe never learned

your tunneled vision burns ahead

without thought of implication

one vision

one purpose

a driving force

building empires

creating wonder, but without sight

of what else could be

aside of the intended

leaves the world at mercy
