The words and some of its flaws.
My words are not my sympathy.
My mind is not my value.
I do not care more or less about life then you do.
I do not force myself to be great at things I am not.
I walk around the world and not because I do not have a car.
And not because I can not see.
But because I choose to look at useless things.
But what are useless things?
What are values without mind?
What are words without a meaning?
Words are nothing.
A mind has no value because people today do not look upon it.
You can’t put someone cockiness up for auction.
And useless things?
Are all things people don’t want to see.
Then people whine and cry and hope that things will happen to make their life better.
But do they take action?
Must don’t.
It’s mostly just all talk.
People walk the streets just as a Blind Man would, with a difference.
A Blind Man can see.
He has the power to use his mind in place of his or her eyes.
He has the will to go around the world and taste, touch, smell and hear things he can no see.
Not just sitting and waiting for hope.
But wait!
A Blind Man has hope.
A Blind Man can wish, and cry, and whine because he can not see.
But is there a difference between that and a hope for a better life.
Here is the thing,
A blind man knows he-can-see.
But them, they, he, him, her she, us, we,
Take things for granted.
You can take what you have and put it in a poor man’s face.
Look down upon them and they look down upon you.
But some of you do choose to take life.
Knowing you do have a mind and the words to use it.
Wait.
Didn’t I say words were nothing.
There I was wrong my friends.
Words take the same path as you and me.
Its journey is to find itself and its meaning.
So am I saying we walk with words?
No.
‘Cause you see like the blind man I do have a wish.
And like the blind man I too can see.
I know that I man not live to be the elder of my generation.
That the silent disease will kill us all.
The power over the blind man is a killer.
The power of judgment will raise above us all.
But wait!
Judgment is not only a thought, an opinion, a verdict.
It is a word!
So it to has a journey.
But frankly it will end when the would ends.
They may walk the journey with is but they don’t end it.
The end is when man realizes its faults.
it ends when we all realize that we to can be the Blind Man.
