Blind Lead the Blind

A man he told me, 2003 when preaching from a carved-out wooden pulpit,
that I could be saved by his deity.
His puckered mouth, his eyes screwed up, he knew it.
This healer, she said, «You've got to have faith, be nobler in your heart,
beware of the dagger.
You just need to feel, to focus and feel, be at one with your God and light up
the world.»
Well you can let the blind lead the blind and the future will be safe in your
hands,
And as she exhaled, cross-legged and cleansed, I heard a quiet whimper from the
distance.
A small boy in rags said, «I'm not very well. You don’t know what it’s like.
Go home because we closed our eyes."And let the blind lead the blind and the
future will be safe in their hands.
This small girl. She said, «My Daddy’s not here -a boy who had a gun came in on
Thursday.»
With stripes on his arm and God in his heart,
he stood there very still for a second then he closed his eyes and let the
blind lead the blind and the future will be safe in your hands.
