Punishment of Yourself
I was born in the state which is
Blind, deaf, and dumb
My sin, guilt, and crime was that
I could see, I could hear,
I could speak
I was not accepted and recognized
I decided to travel and migrate
Thus, now the world reads me
The world hears me
The world airs me
But my birthplace is still
In the imprisonment of its ego
As a result of that
Even now, it is blind, deaf, and dumb.
