Blind poet

In your blindness you can see

the world\'s veracity in transparency

You speak beauty through your poetry

of wars gory and bloody, of glory and loyalty

visions of all the god\'s disparity and vanity

Sightless eyes of empathy reveal life\'s inequity

with ears that hear hypocrisy in total clarity

all the glee and agony of society

its charity, tranquility and brutality

a gentle breeze of mercy then the storm\'s calamity

Things that are and aren\'t but shouldn\'t and should be

love, peace, harmony, savagery and misery

of death and immortality

despair, pain and prosperity

venality and abject poverty

sensuality, immorality, depravity

honesty, mendacity, insincerity

insanity, inhumanity, reality

Now rest o poet buried in lyrical totality
