A short essay/long poem.

A Blessed Curse

A blessing, the gift of sight.
One may witness the height of mountains,
The lowlands of a desert,
Even the rare occurrence of women's eyes that make men kill for.
What beauty the eye can hold.

A curse the gift of sight.
To see the destructiveness of man,
To behold the fragility of life,
You may even witness a lost soul.
What evil the mind can comprehend.
Beauty and evil, never alone in the eye and mind.


I wrote this in high school, the eleventh grade for some English class.  I got an A.
