The Senses - Part 2

This is part 2 of 'The Senses'. Part 1 was a similar poem to the one I have written below but the one below portrays 'Senses' in a different light. We can have sight, we can speak, hear, smell & touch,  or we may not have sight, be able to speak, hear, smell and touch. We're still human beings but what sets us apart is our vision, our voice, our ability to listen, our ability to pick up the right scent & to feel what is wrong & what it is right. We all have hearts but many are heartless- that's the truth.

The eyes can have sight but they may not have vision,

differences in blindness, determine this mission.

The mouth can speak, but may not have a voice,

the metaphorical tongue, is stealing this choice.

The ears can hear, but they may not listen,

having their own agenda, they create this prison.

The nose can smell, it may not pick up the scent,

used to the corrupt stink, the resources all spent.

The body can touch, but it may not feel,

as the emotions are stolen, the lives they'll steal.

The heartless person, still has a heart,

but they used their selfishness, for their start.

The sixth sense isn't psychic, it's being able to face;

a person's struggle is etched in their face.

The law says to live by the rules to placate,

those that would have us move and vacate.

The demise of the world, is in the hands of the people,

lacking their senses, they pray at the steeple.

See, Visonless choices, heartless and unhearing,

can't feel anything, is far from endearing.
