With Eyes Wide Shut


Once there were six men following

The man who was in front, leading.

Leading them throughout their journey,

Hoping not toward a gurney.


Behind them perhaps a village,

And some animals by the stream;

Beyond those, a church with a bell,

Although this they've no way to tell;

All around them were trees and such,

While to one another they clutch.


Oh, how ironic isn't it

That in front of them was a pit -

A pit in which they were to fall,

For blind was the man leading all.
