See a better way
No human ever was designed
or subsequently manufactured
without at least one gaping flaw
causing one not to be enraptured.
My eyes don't focus properly
when looking afar or close.
Without a pair of glasses
I would soon be comatose!
I did not choose to focus vaguely
and I'm glad a cure was found.
I do choose to wear my specs though,
when I can find them, by feeling around!
Although my eyes aren't normal
myself, I'm as normal as most,
so I don't call myself abnormal
and of my better vision I don't boast!
Many people have some difficulty
comprehending homosexuality.
The sexual 'sight' is out of focus
and for me, I sense commonality.
Homosexuals do not choose
and are often urged "do not look".
But, whereas I had a cure,
they don't have such luck !
And, if my doctor had said to me
"shut your eyes and listen instead",
I know I would have kept my them open
and made the best of the eyes in my head.
Although their sexuality isn't normal
themselves, they're as normal as most.
So do not think to call them abnormal
if, of their 'vision' they do not boast.
If Adam had been homosexual
then only Eve would have known.
There would not be all this confusion
for they would have been alone.
And finally, it seems daft to me
to tempt the normally sighted to wear glasses.

This is an attempt to illustrate through poetry that sexual orientation and prejudice against those with a different orientation needs further consideration.
