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
