Blind Poem by gabby chamberland

Blind

Rating: 4.8


naive and innocent
alone with my mind
no troubles stir inside
but are my thoughts truly alone?

does my subconscious know
does it relay understand?
the horrors on the news
actually happen to man?

children murder for a taste of rice
and we eat file minion
women raped and beaten by the masses
but all we do is go to mass
and pray to the lord
'please don't hurt them no more'

then we forget
those people are real
the children still forced to steal
the women trapped in their hell
all of them alone

our way of life s blind
our eyes are closed to this
the hardships of others life's
we happily dismiss

An excellent description of man's inhumanity. Must we keep our blindness in order to remain sane? Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Irene
