Blinded By Hope

Blinded By Hope
We ambulate the streets absent-mindedly
As if our eyes are only to stare absurdly
But then, there are others, with a special remittance
Who fortunately, cannot discern by countenance
They cannot witness the visual charm of the world
Although, they have learnt to appreciate, while furled
Taking every task eagerly as a challenge
Giving all the perseverance they can manage.
Amongst all the drudgery, an innocent smile is forever manifesting
For they have learnt more than we ever been encountering.
Yet, into depression we go, for the silliest reasons
Giving up hope just after a couple of treasons.
I wipe my tears and put my pen down
Wishing he could see me in this beautiful evening gown.

In order to get to know more about their problems and hardships, we visited a special school for the blind called National Association for the Blind. After getting to know the depth of their problems and having realised an assistance in reading is what they really require, we decided to build a product that reads out the text in front of them, which could be either a book or a newspaper, basically, anything that has text in it.
