It’s easy to trip
When you’re myopic
Coz you can’t see the road clearly
And everything looks blurry
Simply because you’re myopic
I’ve always thought that
Humans are myopic
Because of our inability
To see ahead of time
Not even a second ahead
We don’t know what will
Happen the next minute
We try to predict
But there’s actually no certainty
We work so hard
So that we can have
Some measure of control
Over the future
Hoping that somehow,
We’d be able to run without falling
But our myopia
Sweeps us off our feet
At the event of the unprecedented
It’s our myopia
That stops us from seeing
The bigger picture
