The Walking Dead

In this World....
In this world...
There are many deaf people walking around....
Deaf to the singing of the stars
Deaf to the voiceless words
Deaf to the whispers of the heart
Deaf to the plaintive moans
Deaf!

In this world....
There are many blind people walking around...
Blind to the kaleidoscope of rainbow colors
Blind to the graceful charm of a smile
Blind to the beauty of the soul
Blind to the twinkle in the eye
Blind!

In this world...
There are many dead people walking around...
Dead to desire
Dead to courage
Dead to self
Dead to the world
Dead to love
There are stone cold dead people walking around...
In this World!
