   The Way of the Blind
[ After Gassed (1919) by John Singer Sargent ]

Now their steps are
In darkness, blindfolded
Needing the help of others.
What way is ahead for them?
Not one of shelter and care but
Being viewed as a burden.

Their eyes smarting
They follow a path
They cannot see
Into a future which
Will not value them or
The sacrifice they made.
