Vacant Visionaries

by Samantha Terrell / August 23rd, 2015

empty eyes
use
a looking-glass to see
reality

that’s fabrication,
making images to suit the occasion;
finding what isn’t
present,

and using false
as witness.
to say nothing of fact,
these glassy-eyes reflect falsehoods, diverting truthful impact.
