I Hate Your Intentional Blindness!

I hate calling you an intentionally blind person,

The way you keep ignoring things,

Why do you act like Sophocles’ Oedipus,

By shutting the door of visualisation?

 

Don’t blind yourself with healthy eyes,

For god’s sake let them see the ray,

All we need to do is- seize the day,

The bright future that before us lies.

 

Feel my heartbeats and see through my eyes,

I promise in our world there will be no room for poignant sighs.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I invented a term viz. 'intentional delay of vision'. I used it in my research article titled, "The Concept of Blindness in Sophocles' King Oedipus and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman." You can have a read. The link is- http://www.ijalel.org/viewpdf.aspx?articleid=269
