Lame

ls he lame who struggles, 
stutters, stammers to be understood? 
who challenges all-comers 
with a strength beyond his means 
to get ahead, all for the greater good? 
stronger by far than you or I.

There is 'handicap' in language only when not understood. Stammering and stuttering struggling to be understood, is like Moses' strength to speak before a King.
