a smudge, a smear – v4

on the surface of their eye
a smudge, a smear, a nothing
hardly worth mentioning
inconsequential to their vision
to their walk in this life;
but a log, a tree, a limb
a plank protruding
blocking our vision, our sight
why are we focused on our neighbors
when we ourselves are blind.
