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.
