Open My Eyelids

The silent I speak, whose eyes cannot see So loud I shout, for my voice you hear When sad I cry, for a tear can flow From my own, and closed eyelids When you shouted to me, to borrow my vote You took your bus, for me and my sort To the polling station, to beat your vote Saw you no barriers, in my closed eyes One term and half, you announced learning For those who saw, my own you forgot My eyelid the stuff, education for denying So you know barriers, in my closed eyelids Attention! Attention! Attention to all Shhh! stay quiet, listen to my case My hand my leg, above all my head Has nothing to do, with my closed eyelids In that furnished office, my aid can fit In the school braille, my eyes can read Just as I voted, forget not serve me Am human don’t forget, open my eyelid
