The Real Blind

 

                                                             They were blind

They could not see their neighbor’s suffering

They preached caring and loving one’s neighbor

But they turned themselves blind

 

Some are born blind by birth

But some forcefully blind themselves

They just don’t care for others

But their preaching is so powerful that we…

We become blind to see their real deeds

 

Some are blind at heart

They turn their hearts into rocks

Rocks so unbreakable

That they are not moved by their neighbor’s suffering

 

People judge the blind

But they are only blind in their eyes

But others’ condition is worse than theirs

 

Those judgementalists drape their eyes

With Black cloth

So that no light passes

Neither does good counsel work on them

 

People have eyes

They don’t open it

Then how do they differ?

 

Cut their draped clothes

Let the light of care and selfless love

Enter it so that those blind at heart may see

How much they owe their neighbor

 

Let the eyes be opened

And the cloth be cut wide…
