Blind Eye

Aware of the coming danger,
Trouble that could arise far longer,
Prediction to come to fruition,
Long-term effects of accusation,
Accusation of keeping blind eye,
Grim reality of a fatal lie.

Ignoring the writing on the wall,
Trouble seen on the brink of it all,
Prediction met with lack of reason,
Long-term loss due to lack of treason,
Accusation laid upon own head,
Grim fate should have long been shed.

Aware of the tragic price to pay,
Trouble that could not delay,
Prediction dark they were aware,
Long-term consequences to share,
Accusation hits and resentment grow,
Grim story of conditions below.

Aware with prevention not progressing,
Trouble looming with no addressing,
Prediction seemed of little value,
Long-term prospects of silence dull,
Accusation built of crime unchecked,
Grim outlook of a heartless wrecked.

Aware of the painful toll it took,
Trouble that hindered by the look,
Prediction so long before the fact,
Long-term misery to impact,
Accusation ever growing stronger,
Grim rewards for lack of longer.

Awareness not accepted so easily,
Trouble found in disbelief,
Precision of what should have been,
Long-term troubles never seen,
Accusation brought about its own,
Grim results of what had been known.
