Second verse same as the first

After John 9 

Disbelieving that a man

born blind could now see

(healed on the Sabbath, 

no less), they return

to their original questions:

was it him or his parents?

Who sinned? The parents

dodge an answer while

the man himself says

the obvious: I was blind,

and now I see; that’s all

I know. I can’t explain it.

I can’t give you the answer

you want, the narrative

you so desperately want

to maintain. Do you want

the answer that reinforces

your own bias and blindness,

or do you want truth?
