Broken Vision Poem by Lubinda Lubinda

Living with broken vision
& cracked foundations
you-can-not-see-the-need
of those around you
you've got your own
mouth to feed!

Too busy to stop and
lend them a helping hand
you trample on the needy
and treat them like dirt,
your-lives-full-of-greed
you're are too blind to see
let alone realize
that we all part of Abrahams seed too busy to see
that behind the grief,
sorrow and pain of others
is a silent plea for help!

Living with broken vision
and cracked foundation
I was brought up in such a culture
maybe that's why:
l-too-have-not-seen-the-need
of those around me!

I guess we all have
broken vision
and cracked foundations
blind spots, areas in our lives
where we block & numb
the suffering of others
while we pretend they
don't exist!

I ask myself:
if we don't see or hear
the cries of the needy
because we don't have eyes
or ears!
I don't think so!
we don't see or hear them
because we don't want to!
