“The Blind”

Why would I deny what I am
When everyone knows this is what I am
Why won’t I accept my fate
and cope with the state
Though it is excruciating, I mustn’t lie
Though it is discriminating I mustn’t die
I am blind, yes am blind

All need is orientation
That will help me come out with innovation
Which will be of benefit to the society
for a disability is not inability
Being in this condition wasn’t my choice
Yet this situation has made me to have no voice
I am blind, yes am blind

It is needless denying that I am blind
But it is most important to mention those in line
He who cannot provide for his family, is blind to their needs,
a political leader who leaves the cries of
his people unanswered is blind to their needs
A teacher who opposes correction is blind to new ideas
A chief who denies civilization, is blind to development
You who cannot accept your faults, is blind to faultiness
And you who cannot accept what you are
Is blind to your own personality

So the blind are not only those who cannot see
when they look but those who don’ look what they see.

Don’t be surprised if you find a blind you
For the fact that you find a strange you
Doesn’t mean you should change you, but
It means you should change your point of view
We are all blind no matter how you try
To wipe it off your mind.

Unser kooperatives Mitglied Maase Peniel Prayer Ministries e.V. ermöglicht 400 Kindern in Kindergarten, Vorschule und Schule eine gute Bildung. Neben einer guten Bildung erhalten die Schüler*innen auch eine warme Mahlzeit pro Tag. Aktuell wird dies auf einem offenen Feuer unter freiem Himmel gekocht. Dies möchte MMPPMI e.V. ändern und hat mit dem Bau einer Mensa begonnen.
