“Deaf, Dumb, Blind
***
A life breathes
In its past, present
And future
It might be
Or might not be.
Most of it
The past was a deaf
Don't hear; it is a terrible
The present is a dumb
Don't tell; it is a bitter
The future will be a blind
Don't look; it is a dark
However, I breathed
I breathe
I shall breathe
Be happy
With adopting,
To be deaf, dumb, and blind
Otherwise, bear and wear
Wish in the heart
Tears in the eyes
To disappear
Forever.”
