Blessed is a Life

a poem by Vasupradha Vasudevan

Blessed are the blind, what all crime they need not see
Blessed are the deaf, what all obscenity they need not hear
Blessed are the mute, what all offense they need not speak
Blessed are the insane, what all filth they need not think

Blessed are the lame, what all thorns they need not tread
Blessed are the weak, what all wars they need not wage
Blessed are the meek, what all quarrels they need not indulge in
Blessed are the wounded, what all death they need not meet

Blessed are the poor, what all sleep they need not waste
Blessed are the down trodden, what all pride they need not care
Blessed are the workers, what all happiness they need not loose
Blessed are the under-privileged, what all hopes they need not shatter

Blessed are you and me, what all blessings do we need more?
