The Sedately Blindfolded... - Granite Grok

The Sedately Blindfolded…

At first glance, I thought “oh, a juxtaposition of encroaching Islam and the West’s willing full blindness to it”.

But after just an exhale, I thought, the clear, focused eye of the vigilant vs the languid, insouciant, and blithe blindfolded adorning rube extends beyond the global cultural tectonic  shifts.  The blindfold’s breadth is exceedingly broad.  It stretches and shrouds the hourly life of many.  Only a few have lifted to glimpse and question the standard of living decay, the ever increasing cost of simply breathing, the debt amassing with only a few inquiring as to its soundness, the leadership unwilling or unable to address the encroachments of the state into our lives…etc.

Some of the curious simply return the mask to it’s relaxed position because of the illusory security of darkness.  Others are now noticing the dampened lamp posts, rusting dull towers, and the lights dimly glowing brown on the once shining city on the hill.
