Vision

This is by far the best thing I`ve written. The reason being, I was asked to write a poem on the blind by a friend, and I could do it. Normally, I write only on incidents that happen to me or inspire me to write. Hope you like it....the confessions of a blind man...

Vision

Darkness behind the glasses,
I see no classes, no masses,
No religion, no creed,
No modesty, no greed
A touch is all I need
No one for me is high, no one low,
I don’t lead, I don’t follow
The feeling of imagination
The feeling of interpretation
The feeling is my eye
The feeling that doesn’t lie
I need no prescription
What works for me is description
No remorse, no regrets
Someone loses someone gets.
Defected, deflected, Neglected
That’s what they think I am.
I’d explain to them if I could,
I’ve been misunderstood.
About me, they have wrong notions,
I can’t shed tears, but I have emotions
My hopes are equally high and I have a big mission.
I don’t have eyes, I have the Vision.
