Wheelchair Armistice

Self-crippled arrayed in abundance Too poisonous to move, to dance Striking a medicare deal Reeling in unemployment checks Our disabled bodies left to hang From crippling blows The pressure of expectation Lynching sanity Propping self-delusion on stilts Searching for rights The reason to exist In a muddled play by play Blessed are those in spirit Accepting power over their destiny Accepting free will And the test of time
