Overlooking

Overlooking

it is a luxury
costly beyond measure
to look away
to ignore
what most can’t
especially those
overlooked

to
over time
un-see
seen
is a costly
blindness
afforded
to few

sooner or later
the overlooked
pile up in ways
unavoidably
inconvenient
except to those
choosing blindness
through isolation

to be able
to move along
get back to business
resume as you were
is a privilege beyond
the reach of
the seeing
the noticing

the cost of
not seeing
of overlooking
of turning away
is the missing
of Jesus
with and as
the overlooked
the unseen

so
let the one
who has eyes
see
