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
