The Myth So Long

The  flash goes bright

blinding the eyes

that of not artificial

but one of natural

coming in the form of lightning

while the myth goes

lightning powerful

would rob the eyesight

as my mother closed my eyes

during my younger days

a measure to save my eyes

that still lingers  in my memory

forcing me to close the eyelids

as soon as I see a lightning

a habit that dies hard.

Is there any reason to believe so/

I know not what to say so

as the scientists have to answer

this frivolous  question of mine

sounding very trivial and silly

but has a meaning great and  valid.
