Here’s your breast milk, here’s
Your width, come, my babies,
Sip from this! Can’t you see,
My babies blind? I am All,
I’m your kind.

Try to love all that you view,
Cockroach, eagle, apple tree.
Learn from each, can’t you see?
Blind at birth, All are We,
Earth-bound kinds.

Feel your fellows’ lives in mind,
Respect the spark of god-sublime.
Teach your kids, can’t you see?
Blindness healed, We are We,
Moral minds.

Come, my babies, listen wise,
Taste my death approximized.
Winged, you fly! Can’t you see,
My babies blind? We are All,
Freedom’s mind.
