blind

Obliviousness is life
We drink our water and eat our bread
While it turns into ash and iron
We smile
I ware the remnants of yesterday's tragedies
Like weathered skin putrefying my existence
We laugh
We joke and play
While our eyes and mouths bleed our pain for your inevitability
We love
Love conquers all they say
The sword of your own misguided cure for sadness
Has ruined our shield
The shield made of your love
Life is oblivious
Oblivious to our pain
