Waiting ... Waiting

Those that need disability can't get it; those that don't, get it ... shame how we let government decide who deserves it and who doesn't.

Waiting on the appeal: pray for us.

... waiting, waiting for
the government to decide
if we're disabled

or not.  Meanwhile, we
fill out endless paperwork
and wait ... wait ... wait

for the decision
that may or may not change our
lives.  We're tired of

waiting ... waiting ... for
them to make up their minds:  let
them live from mouth to

mouth, let them walk a
mile in our shoes:  you can bet
they would expidite

change:  because no one
should have to live like this while
they're waiting ... waiting.

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (5/18)

Like that guy born on the fourth of July sitting in a wheelchair while the Government, Pentagon and Health Services decided if his paralysis really was a result of Nam.
Great piece, keep on pounding on.

I agree, no one who is disabled should have to wait, but as you stated there are so many who do not truly deserve disability who have claimed for one reason or another ang recieved it dishonestly it has created a waiting line for those whom deserve it. The abuse in this situation has also caused such a doubt it seems when one is physically disabled that it is a waiting game! My mom just got hers recently, we prayed hard as we will for you and Karen! In our prayers!
Blessings,

Karla,
Life is a waiting game my friend. I wish it weren't so for your sake but the reason lies on the shoulders of those who do abuse it. I'll keep you and Karen in my prayers. Always, Paul.

Yes I know all to well what that is like for although it was a government ordered doctor who told me I could no longer work for the government after 30 years of service, the government then told me I couldn't get my pension cause I wasn't disabled...it took two years and a forest of appeals to finally get it and then i got nailed almost fifteen thousand in taxes because of it. Scary world out there for the little people..

It's a pity, isn't it? You've said it: those who need disability (like me, like you) can't get it (or get it increased), while those who DON'T need it take advantage of the system and abuse it, and yet they are the ones who get it. Go figure; it doesn't make any sense; no, our GOVERNMENT doesn't make any sense! Very well penned, I feel your frustrations in this write! BRAVA!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin sis, Karen Lynn. :(
