Seeing does not necessarily mean believing
As many people trust without seeing
The name blind
Must no be given to persons with bright heart;
Persons with visual impairment
Could come up with marvelous thoughts.
Being deaf could not be considered as inability
For it is better not to tune to bad talks on tiki-toki
Sometimes, deafness is better than listening
At times one is forced to turn a deaf ear
One with superior outlook may prefers physical impairment
Observing the physically intact indulging in unlawful act
Sitting idle, extremely depending on others
That is physical imperilment for me to state.
Don’t marginalize people dubbing them the mentally disabled,
Forgetting that you yourself in a day being made for 5 seconds.
Why should you consider the bedridden less superb ?
Do you forget they were high class mined since the womb?
If you marginalize the intellectually disabled
What makes you better from the set?
They demonstrate better art talent
Which makes them special compared to the latent!
Don’t consider disability as infirmity
By heeding the talks and tells of minority
But let me tell you one reality
Many should not mistake disability as inability.
