Unnoticed, Unseen

I woke up one day Unnoticed, unseen The sparrows were chirping Did not mind me between I poked them gently The sparrows got scared Seeing them fly I went mad I ran out into the streets Naked and free Hurled pebbles on passersby Watched them flee with glee I felt like a king In this blind men’s paradise Shocking poor fellows at will Making fun of their cries I was shaken hard By someone I could not see I rubbed my eyes Could see only darkness around me It was my mother She put me on her lap Tears filled my eyes As I went into recap I wished my dreams were true I could see the world go blind Why O Lord, You robbed away my sight What was my fault, You made me Blind
