Stop, Be Quiet and Close Your Eyes

Imagine if we were all born blind,
There would be no racism,

Imagine if we were all born mute,
There would be no arguments,

Imagine if we were all born without legs,
There would be no rush to run from life.

Our abilities disable our humanity.

If we were grateful for the things we can see,
Difference would be more like eye candy,

If we appreciated the chance to hear others,
We'd realize we are saying the same things,

If we viewed each escaping step as a burden,
We would know the benefit of stillness.

Humanity is waiting on you.

I dare you to be purposefully blind,
And see with your heart,

I dare you to go mute,
And speak with your actions,

I dare you to stand still,
And run your life.
