The blind don’t know how to see
They can hear
Just fine
They can feel
Just fine
They can taste
Just fine
But they can’t see
Not the shapes or the sky
Not the sun or the ocean
And they can’t see colors
Not red
Blue
Purple
Orange
Green
Brown
Yellow
Magenta
Black
White
It’s all the same
Black or white
White or black
Asian, hispanic, caucasion
All they see is people
For being blind
I think they see
The most
