David Smith Poet Burlesque

Few but the blind

Few but the blind, 
Can see the alternatives,
And the few who can see like the blind,
Often find themselves in a bind,
When offering alternatives to the many who are not blind,
But keep their blinkers on,
Making it difficult to see they are not using their scone,
To prevent them walking into an alley that is blind,
Where only few but the blind can see their way clear,
To breathe in some fresh air
To avoid waking up blind to alternatives
That are open,  only to those who use their initiatives.

It takes more than sight to get it right.🤔 David Smith August 9, 2026 at 1:33 AM Thanks for reading. We are now paying tax on water her in Wellington region. Huge protests, Election this year. A new minor party now in mix. I am glad to be a retiree. who can still get about under own steam and poetry lets off access steam. So my inner core temperature still below critical. what is new across the ditch.
