blind man’s conundrum
my mother and brothers, my neighbors and friends i found blind
to goodness. all preferred bounty. so like a mirror
i shut my eyes to wickedness and begged the kind
to feed and clothe me.
yet with eyes closed i see
that others see nothing with eyes open wide. four
in every five are blinded by hatred and envy
while one is blinded by love –as you are.
