The Blind man and the pole

Thank goodness that pole rhymes with so much

"I think that I am average, in body mind and soul"

"But what's so wrong with average" said the blind man to the pole,

"Nothing wrong with average," replied the pole in turn

"but were I blessed with gifts beyond what I am apt to learn..."

"And then you would be poorly quipped to handle lifes debates."

"But then it would be proven that I am blessed by fates."

"If blessing so you seek, then blessing you'll recieve;

but remember the weird sisters boy, for blessings may decieve."

"Aye, but to be decieved as Macbeth, would be no shame atall,

four centuries past long and dead and still him we recall"

"True, but as a cowardice traitor filled with useless guile,

if so you wished to be remember then you are lost my child!"

"It's not that evil deeds i seek, nor fame or wealth nor power,

but that my name should remain longer then my lifes short hours."

"And live it shall if you do love your neighbors and your brothers,

and always think of self as last with concern for another."

And on they walked and talked and talked

the blind man and the Pole

and so they fought to free the binds

trapping man in soul.
