BLINDED BY LIGHT

How could I forget that road?

There, my certainties were shuffled inside-out,

my creeds were disordered upside-down.

I was thrown down and but only to be raised,

blinded by light so I could see.

This was bound to happen,

when I began to think it serves you, God,

to make violent threats against those I differ with,

to wage a war for the sake of my truth,

to seek to bend all others to my way.

But, how certainly I missed the point,

And with real eyes, I realised my real lies.

So, every day I pray to you,

Let the scales from my eyes fall.
