Blind

I got bored and looked up words that were close in relationship to blind...

Why is everyone so blind?

They cannot even tell they had lost their vision

I stand here in the darkness

Feeling blind as a bat

Eyeless as the blind, we walk with such terror

In darkness, we are all

Unseeing the truth outside

Careless as a newborn cub

We wear our masks to hide the love

Trapped and cloaked, still we are bare

Like the zombies, and the vampires we are just heedless beings

Ignorant and selfish, we cannot seem to care

We are oblivious to the sky

And insensitive to the beauty

I found myself as nearsighted as the rest

Neglectful as a father drunk

As thoughtless and unaware of the darkness we all share

Our minds left off for recklessness and stupidity

We are now unreasonable as an unseen ghost

Now mindless, rash and senseless

We go on with no meaning of life

Our past is shortsighted

And are future is dim

We are violent, and wild, with guns instead of fangs

Unthinking, what is the point they pull the trigger

Who would know?

You are in the darkness, without an exit

Just face the fact, that life has hit a dead-end

There are no doors left unblocked

Here is our future

Can you see us here?

In a purblind building

A veil of disappear

I am tired of living

In a world so unclear

So open up your eyes

Moreover, use your sight even in the night

The story is amazing. I like the use of poetry to make this amazing story come alive. Easy to be blind to the wrong of life. The real world would make most of us want to do something useful. A excellent chapter. Made me think.

Ignorance is bliss seems to be a way of life for many... thinking they can live a happy life oblivious to everything when really they are not living, just existing... some deep philosophical thinking here.

For being bored, this was awesome! So many different view on blindness, all bundled up and spun out into a really well written piece of poetry.

A couple of things i spotted...
line 9 "Masks to (Hide) the love"
Line's 18 and 22 "Are" (I think you meant "Our")
Line 30 "are" (Our)
Line 31 "use" (I think you meant, "us")


I loved the imagery and the story your ink tells! It's one that opens up one's eyes!

Great Ink Ashley!

This is a well thought out rant. You raised too many points to single just one out.
Apathy is a problem in our world. There was a legitimate anger here. This is another poem that would probably burst into flames if you tried to print it.
