As a young man (30ish) Sat alone in a room, His feeble voice Rang out: "If there's anyone here, Please talk to me."
"Help!" He continued. "I've gotta go To the bathroom. Please, help me!" Echoed his broken, Lame voice.
Sadly, his cry Fell on deaf ears.
I've seen him Throw himself down, And banging his head On the floor-- In a loud voice, Cursed God continuously.
With a lamenting voice, He prayed to die. And yet, he lived.
In pitious ragings, He'd severely Threaten others. But with family, He remained utterly calm. Only his family Could console him.
My heart ached for him, As my eyes welled with tears. For, you see, He was young and blind.
Unfortunately, He was a young blind man, Consumed by his blindness.
This story is true. And situations such as this, illustrates the truth of life's less glamorous side: the affliction. The darkness. The loneliness. The dependency and utterly helpless feeling. The fear and despair. What is not, and yet could have been for any of us.
