Blind as a Bat

Have you ever noticed
How oblivious people are
To the havoc they cause
In their own lives?
Though it may be obvious
To you and to
Almost everyone else
What they do
That causes their fate,
They just can’t see it.
They are as blind as a bat
When it comes to
Seeing the impact they have
On their own lives.
How can they not see
When it is so obvious,
You might tend to ask,
But the same holds true
For you as well.
Without using others
As a reflective mirror
To tell us what
We can’t see,
We remain unconscious
To our complicity
In what happens to us.
