i Know the Blind



i know a blind
Person when i
See one

Seen'em all
But only once
Crawling tall

i know the blind
Has much to
See

Sing in the rain
Muffle the sound
Myself falling down

i have much to be
Ganged by the gain
Of the tease

i distrust such
Philanthropy on the
Steets

Walking on me
With hovering
Feet

The blind or the fog
Let the fog cover
Me

i know a blind
Person when i
Hear one
