The Disabled

The Disabled.     

You might be fit as fiddle 
Yet be more disabled than the legless;
You might be as colourful as peacock 
Yet be more disabled than dwarf;
You might be busy as bee
Yet be more disabled than shelless slug;
You might be champion of your world 
And know your onions indeed-
But you do nothing to benefit 
Your world and society in need;
Then you are the most disabled indeed.

Being disabled is barely a physical thing,
For if your mind or conscience is eroded,
And your psych corrupted; you are truly disabled.
