Solomon Ochwo-Oburu Poet Lyric

Blind Poet

I hear the world is beautiful
trees, grass, insects, landscape
people with eyes praise them
but why are some of them sad?

Pretty women, pretty babies
roam the surface of the earth
I hear there are nice films too
why are some people bored?

I wish I had eyes to see wonders
those good things I would enjoy
I tell you, my life would be a joy
Nothing would make me sad

If those with eyes to see do not see
How much would the blind not see?
