Blinded eyes

Blinded eyes

BLINDED EYESΒ 

Blinded eyes on healthy brick.Β 
Above spring flowers singing new life.Β 
Whilst down the road the old man walks,Β 
with his sleeping bag and ragged coat.Β 
Looking for a place to sleepΒ 
in this world that so mocks hope.Β

The combination of your picture choice and words is a very strong message about the contradictions of what is important in society. Strong, punchy, thought provoking stuff.

Everyone feels sorry for

The windows are still boarded.Β 
The homeless are still on the street.Β
