On His Blindness - John Milton

I like the poem On His Blindness by John Milton because the poem carries the true essence of Equality, the poem simply means that God judges us for the best of our abilities, whether someone is better, as long as we're doing our best even if we are disabled, even if we can't make anything due to our disability, We serve God equally. as John Milton mentions the last line in his poem, " They also serve who only stand and wait"


When I consider how my light is spent
Ere half my days in this dark world and wide 
And that one talent which is death to hide 
Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent 
To serve therewith my Maker, and present 
My true account, lest he returning chide; 
"Doth God exact day labor, light denied?" 
I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent 
That murmur, soon replies,. "God doth not need 
Either man's work or his own gifts. Who best 
Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state 
Is kingly; thousands at his bidding speed,. 
And post o'er land and ocean without rest; 
They also serve who only stand and wait.
