Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Please Don'T Shout

Please don't shout
I'm not deaf
I can HEAR you that's for sure
I beg you to stop shouting
Shouting I abhor
You treat me like an imbecile
When others are so kind
I can walk, talk, and think
And have a sound mind
If you opened up your EYES
You may notice 
I AM BLIND!

David Wakeling January 4, 2020 at 8:27 PM We often shout at the blind to attract their attention.Normally we don't have to attracted sighted peoples attention because they can see we are going to speak to them.Shouting is a sensible reaction. Shirley Hawkins January 4, 2020 at 10:12 PM I understand your comment. Blind people often have a heightened sense of hearing to compensate for their disability. Sometimes, like sighted people, there is a need to shout if that person or persons are in immediate danger. This is only a personal point of view. Thank you for yours. Best Wishes... Shirley
