A Loss of Insight

In the world, many a fool's theory Listening to them, I look weary Replying them, I feel dreary With silence, I make merry Their eyes they close at dawn and doubt In the morning, they are out and doubt We doubt HIS existence! They shout Sadly, little do they know about For each day we see HIS wisdom and might Their brains? Sadly fastened with 'a bight' Thinking right? Apparently a lost insight Retrieving? Out! They tell the light Like dogs their gods bark but not can bite Like a rooster they fly but not a kite See the stars and the moonlight See the rays of the sunlight The sweet songs of the canary we enjoy In our daily lives, the water we employ For our breath, the air we deploy Let the wise shout for joy

Sadly many are afflicted with this particular type of blindness. Sadly those who are the most blind feel they have the best vision.

Indeed a nice poem. I kept away from poetrysoup for some time due to some reason. Now I am free and You have written a very good poem. The rhyming words do match nicely. Last stanza is also very good. Idea of shouting for joy is unique.

We can only see what we know. If we don't know, we don't see - because we fear.

Yes, there are those who doubt God's existence, and trying to convince them they're wrong is a waste of time. I enjoyed your moving poem, Adeniji! Janice

Dear Janice, thank you for taking your time to absorb the content of the poem. Truly, everyone is entitled to his own opinion. Unfortunately, many have been blindfolded, to see the reality. Much love, Adeniji.

Thanks for your comment. "Loss of Insight". Indeed, we have lost our way and only God can lead us back. Blessings.

You have the gift to render delight in lines of words and rhyme. There is much for which to be grateful, such that tears can flow into the water of rain to cool our mind and warm our heart.

Thank you Mark. Even a blind appreciates the significant presence of nature among humankind.
