Eye Can Think

Eye Can See Just Fine

Life will only end once we die. And guess what? I already know it. No need to say that. And so here I am packing my things just getting ready for school. I see the sunrise and knows that today's another day of me being just a watcher and can't do anything at all. I can think and see but that's all I can do.

On my way to school, I saw an old woman about to cross the street. There, another person helped her. I looked to the other direction. There I saw a woman sitting by the corner of the street. She has two kids lying on her lap. The kids seems to be sleeping. Infront of her was an empty plastic bottle barely containing anything. I can see coins but the bottle is not even half full. And here I am, I just ignored the woman like she's not even existing. I have a spare of money but decided not to even give her atleast a penny.

I walked past the woman and hurried my way to my room. I'm not going to be late. I just want to go to my room.
This body of mine always goes to school learning stuffs. What's they call it? Education. But for what? I see yet I acted like someone's invicible just a amoment ago. Didn't I learned in my Science class that eyes are used for a sense of sight? Yet it seemed like that's not what I learned at all. Maybe I forgot? Or maybe I'm just following what other people do? Well I don't really know. Afterall, I can only see but I can never make a move to let this body of mine know what it has just learned from school.

There it goes class dismissed. It's now recess time. I saw a person being bullied and guess what? What did I do? Nothing. My body is too scared to move. Right. I forgot to mention that right now this body of mine belongs to a lady. A lady who has good looks and can be called perfect. Well atleast nobody's perfect. I guess this lady did not see that person being bullied? I guess not because if she did, if it's me I would have gone there to help her. Afterall I can see right? And since I saw it that means I know that I should help her.

School's over. I am now on my way home. I rode the Lrt station. There are lots of people. And it's not that schocking for this phenomenon is common. But what's this? An old woman standing with her cane by her side supporting her. I wondered if there are vacant seats. I searched and looked everywhere and saw one seat. Guess what this lady did? Of course, she sat there. Comfortably sitting while using her cellphone, not minding the old woman who is standing just beside her. Yes I saw her but still acted like it's nothing. So now I am here sitting comfortably while the old woman who seems to be tired and exhausted is standing. If you'll ask if I'm tired my answer would be no. I'm completely fine. I just want to sit here so I won't need to tire my legs because I'm standing.

At home. This lady arrived home without feeling tired. This lady ate then brushed her teeth and then did her homework. And here I am just watching everything while keep on thinking...What's that this lady learned in her class before? Eyes for sight. Yet she had eyes and can clearly see everything that happened just now but acted like she did not see how those people needed someone to give them atleast a care. Is she blind?

Sigh... I can't do anything. I can think but this lady has her own brain. She doesn't know that I have a brain of my own. Well that's all I do everyday. Everyday, I am hoping to be able to let others use my brain.

Tomorrow's going to be the same. Everyday it's the same for me. I always see but I act blind. So I want to know and wants to ask this lady.. Did she learn that eyes=sight? Maybe not. Well still ,I can see just fine.

Rise and shine. Here I go again, another day of not being able to do anything. I mean what's the use of this brain of mine if I can't even tell this girl to use her sight?? Sigh.

Right now I'm about to go to to Church. I guess this lady still has a good side aside from her outside appearance. I'm applying makeup and was about to be done when I noticed that a part of my face seems to have a small bump. Like really small bump that you won't even notice if you did not pay attention. Now I'm thinking that this lady is weird. Is she? I mean.. How come she cared for that small bump that's barely even noticed but ignored those people that needed care before? Is there something wrong with me? Or is it this girl? Is it hard to notice bigger objects rather than the smaller ones? Sigh. If I could only ask this lady myself.

I'm now here outside the Church. I saw a man sitting on a chair. He's blind and he is selling candies and other foods. A stranger gave him three coins and 20 pesos for 3 pieces of candy. I guess the stranger did not notice that his 20 pesos was with his 3 coins. The blind man called the stranger and said that the stranger gave was too much. I saw everything. The honesty of that blind man. I secretly smiled to myself. I wonder if this lady saw that because she did not even smile. Maybe.. She just does not care unlike me who liked what I had just witnessed.

The mass has ended. I'm now going to the mall. This lady is going to eat there and maybe do some shopping. I saw my friend. She is this lady's friend so I also consider her as my friend. They were talking. At the corner I felt something below my feet. There's a bottle just below my feet and I just ignored it. I just pushed it aside so it won't block my feet. My friend and this lady just kept on talking and I did not even noticed the time. The day ended with me being confused. Oh well, I guess tomorrow's going to be different. I hope so.

-The next day-

Here I go again going to school. This time I'm early. Oh it seems that the teacher is looking at me. She asked me "What simple things can you do to help your community be a cleaner place? It should be things that you really do for real" This lady answered "by picking up trash that you see and putting it in the trash bin or garbage bag". "right" the teacher answered.
And I was thinking.. That's incorrect! Why? Because the teacher said that the anwer must be what you do for real. Come to think of it.. This lady just ignored the plasric bottle lying on the floor infront of her feet right? So her answer is incorrect because she lied. She's not doing that in real life. Such a liar. This lady is a liar. But its only me who knows that. Afterall, I can see just fine. And I can see everything.
