We are not DISABLED

    Nor handicapped...

Oh, gosh, they are scared

  Of ghosts of the past.

We are not deaf-mutes–

 but we are Deaf so we

 Can hear Madonna’s loud music so

we can see signs.

  We gather the sounds of Nature as we stroll

through the tranquil park.

God makes us heed the glory of angels

 creating a world of good will towards

 people with and without disabilities.

We are not crippled–

 why are foes attempting to

stamp a rubber stigma on

Our foreheads like victims

of ugly prejudice?

Well, we are

 physically challenged

After all.
