BLIND MEN..blind ambition 5-14-2020
The world is blind men with a box of crayons,
A brand spanking new set..
Red, yellow, blue, black..
and of course..white.
The people are every color in-between,
A kaleidescope coloring book already finished..
But the blind men don't know,
'Cuz the blind men can't see..
They are blinded by ambition,
So they see only what they think..
And the people wait for the blind men to color their world with something beautiful,
With different colors..but..
the blind men have only the same colors,
day in, day out..day out, day in.
The blind men keep using the same
red, yellow, blue, black and white..
The people clamor for a change,
but the blind men color over the people and their world with the same basic colors hiding the beauty of all the colors in-between..
They think the people are happy now but how can they tell when they cannot see?
The world is a blind man watching a movie with subtitles!
