Can you tell a needy woman and a woman in need apart?
Can you hear a silenced voice from a silent voice?
Do you feel comfort from safety?
Do you know an escape from a search?
Can you see the wanderer among the travellers?
Are you able to see the good people among those who do good?
Can you taste a drink of pleasure from a benumbing one?
Can you tell a union born of fear from one born in love?
Do you know the occupants of homes from those who occupy houses?
Can you see the difference between a helping hand and a lending hand?
Do you hear the cries of the chained man from those of the man who wants to chain you?
Can you see those who live for life from those who live in life?
