Discord

Four Blind folks
out on sojourn
They see with touch
and know what they find
grass is long and soft 'neath feet
while petals are smooth
and a delicate breed
And thus they learn
of the world around
till all on a sudden
they reach a mound-
then the four divide
to know this thing
each reaches out
to grasp what it means
One hits solid mass of flesh
it's sturdy and bulky
and takes up space.
The second touches
an elongated pipe,
it's long and supple
can swing and swipe.
The third reaches out
finds flapping fan
it's flat and wide
though supple I grant.
As for the fourth
He cannot agree
for what he touches
is more like a tree
solid and sturdy
and standing straight
with space between
could be a gate.
So sure each, knows what's right
they end their friendship in a fight.
