amidst muted colors
we saw no evil
blaring sound but
we heard no evil
with ambiguous words
no evil we spoke
heads buried in the sand
wise monkeys we are
poetry and some more
poetry and some more
amidst muted colors
we saw no evil
blaring sound but
we heard no evil
with ambiguous words
no evil we spoke
heads buried in the sand
wise monkeys we are

Hi Kunal,
In reference to the 3 wise monkeys which see no evil, hear no evil and do no evil, perhaps we live under a delusion that there is no evil, or at least it is not happening to us…for now.

Yes, I did get that, Sonya! I was calling out the men who lead our various countries painting a rosier than real picture of the world today, as well as most of us who are immune to / inured against what’s happening all around….. :)
