There’s a girl in the sheltered workshop who always does what she is told .

The supervisors stand over her
and tell her to shut up and fold .

I thought to myself in these workshops
its either their way or you’re out ,

Its difficult to work with those
Who like to hear themselves scream and shout .

I said to the girl in the workshop
There are other places to work ,

Where people will respect who you are
And you’ll not be treated like dirt .

She was surprised and relieved to know
That there were other places there

Where being disabled meant you could work as well as be treated fair .

The problem with some employers is that they go on a power trip ,


Abusing those in their care ,and think that they can get away with it .
