Blind Mankind

Comment from Pamusart
Hi
This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that.
That image is stunning. I know what you were trying to do with this poem. List all of the things that didn't require sight that would cause mankind to be better.
I think maybe one of them is open to discussion
For example, we might still need something like money because not everybody can produce a product that is barterabke. The money would have to have braille characters on it so people would know the domination
I'm not sure how you could tell what produce was what at a farmers market there would have to be braille signs about what each thing was and that would be true for the bread aisles.and for all other aisles. I am sick and disabled, and I doubt that I could offer anything to barter with. And then there would be some dishonest people who would label in braille the wrong thing
I remember having a little bit of argument, but it was amicable, with my dad about money. I thought it should be abolished and he asked me how would people buy things? And I thought about and I thought well they would barter but then, I realized that some people this disabled, the sick, the aged and the children who don't have parents would be unable to offer anything to barter with Perhaps the new society that doesn't have money should take care of them. Cook meals for them. It is the same quandary that you and I are talking about here. It is true that the money we have now would probably be obsolete unless somehow the paper of each bill can be felt to determine the monetary value
It's an interesting question I think
I like that you said that racism would not exist. That's true. and that looks would be inconsequential that's also true
You've raised some interesting questions and solutions for this question of how would we survive when we were blind in a society without money?
I enjoyed reading your poem
Good job. Thank you for sharing.

This was a great poem. I liked that you started each stanza with the same line. You raised some interesting points. Maybe the world would be better off if we were all blind, though it would make writing useless. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
