Certain Little Words
There are certain little words that really get under my skin.
The word cripple, and handicapped are just such two.
For to call me cripple just because I use a wheelchair means that
you are assuming there are things I can not do. I can make love, work
and take care of myself with no help. In fact my feet can even take steps.
Handicap represents the same as cripple but handicap also means you
look at me as a beggar and the only thing I'm begging for is RESPECT.
RESPECT is one of those good certain little words.
