ARE WE SO BLIND?
We walk around oblivious
Unconsciously
Unaware
Like robots mechanically programmed
Numb unfeeling
Our reflexes reaching for the norm
Intuitively
Unthinkingly
Our
subconscious
Thoughts,
feelings behaving out of sync
We all traipse around lifeless
Blindfolded
Insensible
With not a smile on your faces
In your familiar places
You traipse
You frown
Just like a clown
Oh what a circus running around
And here you are
Unresponsive to the beauty all
around
Are we so blind?
Are we so bound?
Running around
Take off the binds
The blinds
The blinkers
FEEL, SEE, TASTE, HEAR, LISTEN
All that is around us
LOVE
In a blindfolded world

Hi Teresa!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your poem. I'm no expert on poetry at all but I enjoyed the rhythm of the verse, the word choices (insensible is a great word) and most of all the message.
I wish you great success and I will drop again to read more for sure!
Thank you Gareth for you wonderful comments I am updating the page on a regular basis like everyday so that friends can come in look or comment
