Who is blind, the man with no eyes or the one with no vision?

Question

Who Is Truly Blind

I ask you now, my learned friend,
Which one is truly blind?
The man who has no eyes to see,
Or he who will not find.

For when a man should lose his sight,
The world he cannot see.
But visions in his supple mind,
Will make the darkness flee.

For if a man has visions, clear,
He sees without his eyes.
But if a sighted man won't see,
His vision slowly dies.

Without a vision, man is lost,
He needs a goal to find.
Without this vision in his head,
A man is truly blind.

So keep your vision, keep it strong,
In forefront of your mind.
You'll find that though not sighted,
You never will be blind.

Answer 1

There are none so blind as those who will not see. Men of great vision are notoriously short-sighted.

Answer 2

I would also say that a man with no eyes is blind. But a man with no vision in mind is not blind but he still have to change that mind to have a strong vision. Having a strong vision in mind will truly make a man see the world he has live with this world.

Interesting question. Have a great day!

Answer 3

Good luck Dondi with your surgery! My mum had an eye surgery too, the results were great. Hope to see you back up and running in 5 days! Your poem is wonderful and yes, truly apt. I find this line 'You'll find that though not sighted' in the last stanza lacking one syllable (the main rhythm you know) though. For the rest the number of syllables in each stanza are 8,6,8,6 but for the last stanza it's 8,6,7,6. A suggestion: You'll find though sighted you are not. So keep your vision, keep it strong, In forefront of your mind. You'll find though sighted you are not, You never will be blind.
