Who Is This Man?

Who is this man that feels no pain?
He sits back and watches life fade away.
Fade away.
Doesn't it all just fade away?
Who is this man that feels no pain?
What, then, does he feel?
Can he feel love without feeling pain?
Does he know how to cherish?
What, then, does he cherish?
Who is this man that has no eyes?
He is blind to the world and cannot see.
He accepts what happens because he cannot see.
He cannot see the better time behind him.
Who is this man that has no eyes?
If this man cannot see, does that mean he has faith?
Is he saved simply because he cannot see?
What, then, is saved?
Are not we all sinners?
Who is this man that has no voice?
He cannot express himself to the world.
His tongue has been stilled due to his sin.
No more to spout his sinful speech.
No more to swing his double-edged sword.
Who is this man that has no voice?
His tongue had no use for righteousness.
It had no use for righteousness.
So what, then, is righteousness?
What, then, is righteousness?
Aren't we all sinners?

Not bad. The questioning theme, though, I think is a little much for the length. Gets a little repetitive after a while.

Yeah. My more recent works are similar to this. You're probably right about the repetitiveness. It's probably part of driving the idea home though.
