Don't waste your money! Don't throw it all away! <br />Or gamble with mistress chance, on some unlucky day. <br />Accidents are waiting: in ambush and surprise. <br />Facile gods are feting, and rolling cosmic dice. <br /> <br />Fickle luck is flagrant, to rob us of the prize. <br />Fate then 'ups the ante', like sight lost from the eyes. <br />Struck down in the random violence, of disease or natural cause; <br />senses turned internal, blind to the outside world. <br /> <br />But there is a Blind Society, that sees the simple truth: <br />all gain from technologies, as civil life is proof. <br />Sightless or unsighted, we all need a helping hand. <br />Will this ethos be denied us, for lack of funds or plan? <br /> <br />Don't waste your money! There may not be the time. <br />All mortals bide within a space, bound by the thinnest line. <br />Accidents can happen. Coincidence is rife. <br />Chaos - a strange condition, of our ordered life. <br /> <br />But there is a Blind Society, forced to the debtor's choice. <br />To rationalise priorities, and maintain the blind: a voice. <br />There is a Blind Society, with it's vision of the truth. <br />Those who give, give wisely, and show how lives improve. <br /> <br />Don't waste your money! Donate it to the cause. <br />Ensure a caring culture, of imaginative resource. <br />Don't waste your money! Don't throw it all away! <br />Invest in the fragile future. It can happen any day.<br /><br />David SmithWhite<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/blind-luck/
