A Disorganized Setting
By Babatunde Lamidi
What do you see when you look around?
What do you hear when you listen?
What do you feel when you touch?
What do you hear when you listen?
What do you feel when you touch?
I see humans detached from the earth
taken to a place where freedom is
a disguise
I hear voices of distinct but unrecognizable
sounds penetrating through small apertures
intertwined
I feel the gestures and movements of a broken-
hearted being, smooth and rough surfaces,
penetrating
The perceptions of my five senses:
Are they disorganized or am I blind?
Very thought-provoking.
I agree with bobbie.
