The "Eyes" Have It

by

Randy Finch


In the quantum world we see
what we observe makes reality.

If this be true on scales so small,
perhaps to big, and thus to all.

Could it be that I result
from Susan's glance or Joe's insult?

If this be so, then what's my role?
Am I in the world, yet out of control?

For what I do, am I to blame,
or someone else who's taking aim?

If this be fact, then could we look
at the world like an open book

and, by perceiving only good,
make all we see be as it should?

But what of one who perceives the evil?
Could the one wrest the many's pencil

and write "Doomsday" across the sky
while he views the world with his evil eye?

Lest we forget as he writes our caption,
we each possess our self-perception!
