Weary hobbling men,
of stature far from social statutory,
embody brief hypotheses of me.
Weary hobbling men,
managed by bronzed and tall
strong handsome men,
embody sick hypocrisy.
Blind old beggars,
who sit on broken concrete
and breathe through broken lungs,
speak clearly of what resides in not what eyes speak,
but of what love and trust sing.
They see more than we,
for they, both blind and whis’pring,
are contented just to breathe.

speak clearly of what resides in not what eyes speak,

They see more than we,
