What We See

Sometimes we're own worst enemy
We see only what we want to see
the forest, the trees
they're all the same
We listen, we hear
only what we want to hear
If someone whispers
or shouts a truth
What do our ears pass on?
If they show us facts, evidence
and spell it out,
leaving no room for squirming
What do we see?
The forest or the trees?
We see only what we want to see
