Blindness Made Clear lyrics

Since racism is based on sight

Both by the seer and the seen

Perception of judgment or conclusion

Indicative of logic's pursuit

May be in fact flawed fallacies

But an easily sensed difference

It is a basic survival tool tended

That all beings could decipher

A threat or a benevolent friend

A quick assessment of selves

Yet words and actions hold up

They make the decisions grand

And hold to experience, learning

Survival skills deemed essential

In this world so ever changing

The quandary of discrimination

A watchword of malevolence

Is in fact a mutual given view

Disguised in mores unwritten

Yet ever so cryptically kept

Aside from assigned blindness

Should sight fail us further

What then, its consequence given

That would render us infirmed

Disabled, or perhaps enabled

Lo, a testament of frailty, of fear

For all to be a threat, a foe envisioned

Thus truly measured is character

Of an individual imperceptible

Beyond all senses spoken of

For the inert there are none other

But in deprivation or capture

There is freedom, it is thought

Senses sullied will release it

An essence of spirit soaring

What is taught, and learned

Are the limits of others given

Accepted or sided decisions

Each individual must make

Thus, blindness made clear
