Poem.

The blinds are not necessarily

the only ones who couldn’t see;

Just as all of us with hearts couldn’t feel;

Just as all of us with ears couldn’t listen;

Just as all of us with brains couldn’t think;

Just as all of us with tongues couldn’t talk;

We can be blind, deaf, mute, brain- and heartless;

Despite having eyes, ears, tongue, brain and heart;

Just as all the educated and literates couldn’t read or write;

There are;

Blinds who could see;

Deaf who could hear;

Mute who could speak;

So;

There are many blinds who see;

Deaf who hear;

Mute who communicate;

And yet;

There are many among us who have eyes but can’t see;

Ears but can’t hear;

Tongues but can’t communicate;

Hearts but can’t feel;

Brains but can’t think.

    A poem on insights, great work.

    ask as much as you want–> they don´t listen,
    show yourself as much as you can–> they don´t see,
    pray as much as you have breath—> they dont feel a thing!

    This is the world we living!
    Another great piece of work!

    @ Inxxu. Someday soon we have to listen to each other because without listening to each other the world would remain as messy a place to live as it is today.
