Who?

He’s deaf and dumb, or so you think. People have given up on him. “He don’t hear a thing”, they say. “Oh him? He’s deaf and dumb like a dead duck”. Yeah, that’s what they say. They say, he’s as meek as a trained cat. Harmless, a dumb waste on earth, good for nothing. He just doesn’t exit, merely passes by existence.

Oh you’ve got to speak to him now. Make him understand. He’s no dumb fool, not a meek cat, Goddammit, he’s a giant. He can do things that those lilliputs around him can’t even think of. 

Oh you’ve got to speak to him. You see, he ain’t deaf or dumb. He’s just been fooling those morons out there around him. He’ll listen to you patiently. He’ll talk to you, if you hear him. 

He’ll break through that jail. He’ll run the miles. He’ll take you to your dreams. He’ll take you with him. Who?

He’s the giant with you. He’s in you.

PS: This is my tribute to one of the greatest movies ever made.

I havent seen the movie, and tribute to movies doesnt gel well with my thoughts though....

But each of the lines reminded me that we come across such persons many times in our lives and tend to overlook the fact most of the times....

Thanks a ton... It was a thoughtful post on insane ramblings...

Keep writing...
