Answer 2

State of Vietnam

Explanation:

These lines suggest that the poet felt defeated with the invasion of his country by the French. He is extremely disappointed with some native people who helped the French in establishing control over Vietnam. Also, he is affected by the state of the country and the suffering of the people. As the poet is blind, he says that he wishes to see nothing and would rather prefer to be blind instead witnessing the pathetic state of the country and its people.
