The Blind Rabbit (a poem)

The Blind Rabbit couldn't see.
And It lamented that It would never know anything and everything of the world of light.
It cursed Its fate, It cursed Its name,
Blind from what It surmised as a cruel joke of fate.
As It sat alone in the dark and seeped in the sea of nothing,
It shouted out to the world It couldn't see.
"What have I done to deserve this life? Have I simply scorned a god? Have I committed a sin?
What travesty bears punishment of this caliber? Answer me!"
Its words echoed to the world of light beyond which It couldn't know.
An answer called back and rent It low.
"Open your eyes, you fool."
The Blind Rabbit opened Its eyes and beget a world of light.
It felt foolish indeed. "A fool such as I perhaps has no need to see."
But It was glad that It now knows.
