Decieving Appearances

Once there was a down trodden man
for he couldn't see the truth before him
too blinded by the dead of night
that without his sight he lost his life
stuck in the gutter of a drunken stupor
covered in dirt and printed word

And then there was a cheery man
his vision clear with a gaze so strong
pure and privy to the truth
with his eyes he could see through lies
a rising star, his life was great
his clean cut suit gleamed with light

Then one day these two men met
in an absolute coincidence
the down trodden drunk ran into him,
the suave gentleman of the business district
lying flat on his back,the drunk
he stared up at him,the good Samaritan

And when he knelt down to help him up
the haggard, lost soul stared in awe
for what he saw was a shocking twist
for before him clad in dark black shades
stood a man with a cane in hand
baring the white emblem of the blind
