Deaf Dumb & Blind - poem
Deaf Dumb & Blind
You were right
I must have been blind
I always saw the rainbow
Beautiful colours in my mind
Raindrops were somewhat kind
You were right
I must have been blind
The dreams that I dreamt
Were in the dark day-light
The sun was always out of sight
You were right
I must have been deaf
Heard the chirping songs
After the Birds had flown
Music made me so alone
You were right
I must be "permanently deaf"
Just heard what I wanted to hear
Words you spoke weren’t clear
My echo was the most to fear
You were wrong
I must have been dumb
Since my words were ignored
New definitions were imposed
Self preservation got prioritised
I was blind, I was deaf, I was dumb
What I offered was all my all
Kneeling down to avoid the fall
When I looked up The God had gone
What I worshiped was just a stone
You were right
I must have been blind
I always saw the rainbow
Beautiful colours in my mind
Raindrops were somewhat kind
You were right
I must have been blind
The dreams that I dreamt
Were in the dark day-light
The sun was always out of sight
You were right
I must have been deaf
Heard the chirping songs
After the Birds had flown
Music made me so alone
You were right
I must be "permanently deaf"
Just heard what I wanted to hear
Words you spoke weren’t clear
My echo was the most to fear
You were wrong
I must have been dumb
Since my words were ignored
New definitions were imposed
Self preservation got prioritised
I was blind, I was deaf, I was dumb
What I offered was all my all
Kneeling down to avoid the fall
When I looked up The God had gone
What I worshiped was just a stone

That is why they say
'ignorance is bliss'
maybe more like innocence,
when that's gone we are
all that much more cynical
and wary.
Better to experience the
'death, dumb and blind'
bit and learn to feel for
real.
Great poem.
