Thanks Eric for giving me an idea:

Take the object for what you see
whether trapped or just set free
in the hollow of the wood to find
mockingbirds call to its own kind

Surround your foes with riflemen
call at the door of the foxes den,
lose your sight before a greater plan
they once knelt at the Klondike, to pan...

Vision of grandeur comes and goes
sightless moles dig their hollows;
short-sighted men detract attention miles away
to point out where their influence should stay


Blindness emanates from those who see
they sighted fewer means disposed to flee;
their target may be another sitting duck
another disfavored nation's out of luck...

Surround hated nations with a party of men
send messenger in, then count to ten.
Overthrown regime visions mask ones sight
and sugar plum faeries dance in the night...


Visions of conquest beguiled you
shortsightedness blinded too.
Since you took the object for what you saw
it is a foolish dilemma that you'll draw...

Hello Eagle,

Based on hits though , it's a pity though I don't get much in the way of feedback after the nice part...I like to know how people relate to what I write, thanks for reading though!
