What the Eye Doesn't See
A decent person's dog with fleas,
The bottles which are drained to lees,
Dysfunction in good families;
These are the things that no one sees.
Indulgences which bring disease,
The cause of unwed pregnancies,
The homeless begging on their knees;
These are the things that no one sees.
Ecclesiastic liberties,
Attorneys swearing phony pleas,
Officials stealing what they please;
These are the things that no one sees.
The sad conclusion, I have found ...
Denial helps the world go 'round,
Where myriad hypocrisies
Condone the things that no one sees.
