BLIND KING.

You walk in the power of your ignorance,

you do not have simple tolerance,

From your presence,you send your subjects out,

You turn a blind eyes to their screams and shout,

you have kept understanding from your sight,

because you feel you're always right.

Blind king!Blind king! How are you leading?

you have kept us all from talking and singing,

your own pride has covered your eyes,

and you sit on honesty and dwell in lies,

you give your own meaning to our stories,

you sit steady in your ignorant glories.

Blind King! Blind King! Where are you going?

you create a rift with the lies you're bringing,

you convince yourself and lock up your heart,

you don't want to see it,you don't want to be part,

But here is the understanding of your weakness,

you eyes are closed and you're heading towards wickedness.

Blind King! Blind king! What are you reading?

you're not even sure about what the books are saying,

you criticise the ones that bring the truth,

you love the ones who do not speak sooth,

you're supposed to be our perfect leader,

but you're a really confused deceiver.

Blind king!Blind king!why aren't you seeing?

the truth is not so big or confusing,

you have locked up your heart,

you hate beauty,love and art,

Blind King! how long will you stay this way?

How long will your white cane lead us astray?.
