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.

  3. I have many random thoughts and this is actually one of them. It would be interesting to step into the mind of a blind person and "see" what they see...
