Blocking A Blind Man's View Poem by Khumo Mhlanga

Self-righteousness…
The fallen on pedestals
Wolves squeezing into sheep’s clothing
That doesn’t morph you –
Exposed instead.
My naked eyes see through you
Dispensing unsolicited advice:
Qualification?
Master of your own universe
“Self-appointed” guru
False teacher

Priceless innocence:
Neither of us have it now
Timeline…yours volunteered away first
Mine submitted in rebellion next
We were both on the other side of reverence
Yours justified?
Mine forgiven…
I confessed it
Better off bleeding - healing

You’re still pretending
“Untruth” a blindfold.
