Blind Boy

...Omonoba..
Our people say:

• An old woman is always uneasy when dry bones are mentioned in a proverb

Just Read : 'This Child Will Be Great' by Ellen Johnson Sirleaf {Liberian president and first female president of any African country}.

Now Reading: 'Virgin of Flames' by Christopher Abani.

Ever wondered what a blind person may see? How a blind person - from birth - may dream? I'm meeting up with a blind person very soon; it's been postponed over and over again. Will keep you updated. I wrote a poem:

Blind Boy.

Blind boy, what do you see?

Nothingness?

Flimsy film of darkness

melting into oblivion?

Circles of illusive light

wolfed by pitch black

before light can be seen?

Like a drop of your tears

engulfed by a fervent tide.

Blind boy, you do not see

this bedlam.

The light and the form

have conquered this place.

The sanity here is thinner

than a sharpened pencil tip.

Our plenty light is too much.

The sight of your ear and those

of your skin and your stick

are sufficient for fulfillment.

Blessings,

My name is NakedSha.
