Blinded Society

The blind man on the streets doesnt 
have to see to know whats wrong 
with humanity he just

sits there listening to every ones 
ignorance. The anorexic stands  
there feeling her rib

cage because she is afriad to gain 
weight does she not see that hungry 
child trying to eat

off her plate. The drug addict is at 
home taking a hit but does he even 
know who is

watching his kid. The hooker on the 
streets is working hard for her 
money but does she

even know whos the father of her 
baby. Whats wrong with society 
when will they see this is

not the way life was meant to be.
