Maybe You'll Be Able to Hear

If you do not want to face reality,
At least get out of my way.
You are blocking mine.
I choose to see!

I like to acknowledge those things,
Coming my way.
And those denials?
Can get you struck by a truck.
And having good luck these days...
Is not worth the wait.
Too many have hesitated for too long.
And for them it's too late!

If you don't want to use your mind,
Try to open your eyes and ears.
This will give you a clue as to what approaches.
If you can not see it?
Perhaps, if you wish, you will be able to hear!
But who knows?
When the mind goes...
What choices are left?
