Best Mentally Retarded Poems
POVERTY IN AFRICA
Nzongi N.Mwero
Large population live in slums,
Youth unemployment looms,
Illiteracy looms,
Poor health standards zooms,
In Africa poverty has rooms
A protein starvation diseases on the rise,
Due to a harsh natural environmental and subsistence level,
And semi skilled farming methods,
Many rely mainly on their primitive agriculture to stay alive,
Most Africans scratch out a living,
In ways that seem to reward inadequate diets
Dirty ragged children scattered on the dust road,
Scrambling for orange peelings,
That tourists had thrown on the dust road,
Children are weakened,
And mentally retarded,
Prematurely aged with yellow hair,
No clothing on the body,
The baby’s stomach bulged on their mother’s back,
Their arms and legs looked like sticks,
Although six and a half month old,
Their ringles skin and thin legs gives no chance to crawl,
Their closed mouth give no chance to sucker
A man walks along a path feeling very thirsty,
Looking tap water to quench his thirsty,
Ready to quench even the coloured salty water,
Because no single coin in his pocket
A woman thinks to send her kids to school,
But she finds in her cube no stool,
She thinks and decides to remain cool,
And goes for cooking roots in the bush,
With her weak kid on her back crying for food
A man in his thatched hut with holes around it,
Bow and arrow in his back,
Ready to hunt any rodent in the bush,
Ready to trap any insect that comes across,
In the home ,no food no water and no school for his kids
In cities and towns beggars are scattered,
Their spindly limbs reach out for a coin,
A piece of bread that might extension of life for few hours,
Dead brothers and sisters lying on the streets,
Not for bullets but due to hunger,
Waiting to be picked up for their painless journey,
Poverty is a war and has been a war for decades
remember when recent-psycho-in-the
brief-spotlight, Texas Gov. Ricky Perry,
smiled at the camera in the debate o’
repuglicans & couldn’t remember the
3rd branch of government that he told
the nation watching that he would eliminate
once he became president?
remember that this ******* had nothing to
say but “oops,” after admitting to wanting to
get rid of Education & Commerce---because
he couldn’t think of another valuable thing
to get rid of & Ron Paul sarcastically offered
up, “the EPA?”---
this same man also told the nation that he
had no regrets, that he “never struggled to
sleep at night” with the thought that any of the
over 200 more people executed in his
state (than the others in the US)
had been innocent---
after all, he is a proud representative of the
cowboy state that had to be forced by 2,000
federal troops to finally free their slaves in
1865 & one might not be surprised to find
him wearing a “don’t mess with Texas”
belt buckle, when he parts his suit coat.
a few nights ago, another man,
Mr. Marvin Wilson, age 54, whose IQ of
61 (9 points below Texas’ own cut off of 70
which determines one is mentally retarded) did
not even make a bit of difference to Mr. Perry &
the bloodthirsty behind him, was executed
without forensic proof or eyewitness accounts of
the murder of which he was convicted of in
1992---
Marvin was a grown man who sucked his thumb,
bearing many intellectual inabilities, from “telling
the difference between right and left” to “handling
money,”
still, disregarding Atkins v. Virginia (2002),
in which the Supreme Court posited that people
with mental disabilities rendering them incapable of
understanding their own actions, should not be
executed,
TEXAS DID IT ANYWAY.
one wonders if conclusive DNA evidence was
discovered years from now, exonerating him
from the crime of which he was convicted,
beyond the shadow of a doubt,
would Mr. Ricky & all the repugs still sleep
soundly?---
need we even take a vote?
7 are already dead in 2012 Texas, campers:

A TRUCK.
“gawd” bless this “democratic”
&
“civilized”
country of ours.
A lonely mentally retarded woman perceived
The world without knowing its malicious darkness,
She died many times before her death when
She was raped by some beastly men,
Suffered many days and months,
One day she delivered a baby girl,
That day to her baby’s little hand
No crescent moon had reached,
No star dropped for her from the sky,
No one tolled a bell from distant Cathedral,
No song was in the air, no artful flute was blown,
The woman cast her unseeing look at the society,
At the civilization around her,
She smiled at her baby, the God smiled too,
Tears rolled down her cheeks, closing her eyes
She left the baby in the hand of God.
TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG
9 months apart!!!
three brothers
first one died
second one blind and retarded
third one turned oldest?
together we are strong
maybe, suppose to been twins
if so this was God's business
9 months apart
mother, father heart
premature
birth in the frost
God children
one of the 1950's and 1960's scare
were humans birth in this condition
together we were strong
you were diagnosed blind
and mentally retarded
I knew of a boy
this preemie, my older brother
he who was like twins separated at birth
he who also had a still born brother,
they too, were nine months apart
together we are strong
haven been on this earth very long
incubator baby, incubator was our first cradle
under lights, till this day can't handle this...
the world doesn't understand us
because we're not in their norm
but God created us in this storm
I were your(his) eyes, we sat on the floor
ate real popcorn out of a bowl
on the kitchen floor banged on pots and pans
perfect rhythm could have been in a band
just like a drummer a perfect retainer
could retain and sing any song on the radio
did I say he had perfect rhythm
this totaled recall for memory of verse
could have been a singer
a second Stevie Wonder
but alas this 60's scare
put him on the radar
for NO parent in this State were supposed to house, keep
the retarded...
this fear, this scare when on for decades
yet...
the world doesn't understand us
because we're not in their norm
but God created us in this storm
I were your(his) eyes, we sat on the floor
while parents when to work daily
I missed a LOT of school, so from kindergarten to end of six grade
I the youngest, took care of you
my blind retarded brother
premature
birth in the frost
God children
the world was scared of him
just like in Jesus days someone with a plague
or the 1980's-90's Aids scare
my blind retarded brother
I took care of....
together we were strong
Together we are strong
****true story of dedicated to****
Joseph Allen Lee
It was very cold outside .
Mist and fog engulfed everything on the earth
to be viewed by mortal eyes .
I was roaming aimlessly –
unclad with any manmade clothes .
Frowning lashes of tortures of the winter night
could not make me a slave,
to succumb to her austere oppression .
My insolent indifference to her pungent calamity
aroused her ire and she got infuriated
to my punish my audacity.
All her massive weapons fell flat on my nonchalant attitude .
I moved on naked ignoring
gnarling howling of the nocturnal nature boiling in rage !
A fusillade of sleets
with the speed of missiles ,
was trying to perforate my head with hundred holes .
At long last my human body
surrendered to the omnipotence of the hostile nature .
I took refuge temporarily ,
under the envelop of unconsciousness .
A new smiling morning dawned
spreading a sheet of oblivion on the earth
making her forgetful of the furies of the last night .
I opened my eyes –
gently unfolded by the soft touch of sunshine .
My unbalanced , morbid brain got back complete sanity .
Rejection in love turned me mentally retarded.
Dancing sleet rearranged my disrupted cells
to its regular array –
and my insanity got recovered .
I even forgot what happened in my past life .
Loss of memory helped me to start a new life .
The blue sky waved me a welcome journey
to my new phase of life .
A hilarious swarm of butterflies
whirled over my head to greet me .
The flowers in the nearby bushes
peeped out to congratulate me on my recovery .
I stitched with thorns the spacious leaves ,
collecting from the nature’ s wardrobe,
to sew my garment to hide shame
and set out for the nearest town to turn over a new leaf .
