Those blessed with sight are forever cursed with the sight of the injustices in the world,
Those blessed with the gift of hearing are forced to hear the cries of the world and her inhabitants,
The screams of child that lost a parent,
Or worse a parent who knows the loss of a child,
And yet we seem to think we understand our purpose on this earth,
Yet life is purely suffering,
Where the wicked are awarded long lives to spread their influence,
And the good are barely given the time of day even in the streets,
And some dare to say life is a gift,
Maybe just maybe it's a curse in disguise,
That many will never realize.
Knowledge is often equated to power,
And wisdom defined as the ability to extract knowledge and turn it into power,
yet what's the point of it all when more knowledge leads to pain and misery,
were it has thrown many into depression and shattered men to the point that they are afraid to leave their own homes.
And the more you understand the more you wish you didn't know,
The more you see, the more you envy the blind who cannot see the world that we live in,
And of being deaf so that you do not have to listen to the cries of the world,
I guess in simplicity its comes down to a question is more knowledge a gift of its a curse?
