Blind Eyes
One foot placed in front of another, short steps are aided by another.
Enablers holds the hands of the blind, guiding and leading.
Enablers whispers in the ears of the blind, suggesting and commanding.
Enablers disables the blind one's mind.
The blind, who can't see pass his own adversities.
The blind, who can't see pass how far society allows him to go.
The blind, who can only imagine what it would be like to see.
To see the colors black or white, and not know the difference.
To see poverty or wealth, and not judge based on appearance.
To see every person for who they are.
One foot placed in front of another, short steps are aided by another.
Enablers holds the hands of the blind, crippling one's dreams to see.
Reflections
"The blind" is someone with a disability to see pass society's expectations. There are people, who live in poverty and they are satisfied emotionally, mentally and physically. You can turn on the news today and learn about the countless unhappy and troubled celebrities in the world. Wealth and material possessions are not a measurement of happiness. Self-actualization is a measurement of happiness.
There are so many young people who have the potential to be great leaders and thinkers. But they can't see pass what society portrays in the media, nationally and locally. "Enablers" are individuals who actively directs "the blind" with guidance. Enablers don't have any motives to hinder an individual yet they affect "the blind" from reaching their full potential.
I encourage you to see yourself through your own eyes.
