Premium Member - Jacob Born With Down Syndrome -

                   
                      Striving to be happy all the time is unrealistic
                             Your child born with Down syndrome
                   The early years were driven by fear and ignorance
                                  Life became more complex -
                               constantly trying to find balance
                                   Jacob has difficulty learning -
                           born into a world where one does not fit
                             All children have enormous potential
                 Support your child in making decisions at any time in life

                                       Jacob loved lullabies
                                      could see it in his eyes

                                  He listens and communicates
                                using movements, no rule relates

                                 Skilled at drawing and painting
                                  I rarely hear him complaining

                                   It's fun to play Super Mario
                                    but, Superman is his hero

                                   Jacob flies around all day
                                a completely normal child's play

The Cheerleader Photo

A cheering squad in Utah,
At a high school, did include
A member with Down Syndrome 
With a bubbly attitude.

She worked extra hard at practice 
And was liked by all who cheered,
But when she received her yearbook,
Her good humor disappeared.

For the cheerleaders were pictured,
Photogenic, they were, too,
Though one member was excluded
And I’ll give you one guess who.

Seems the cameraman requested
Double seatings for the pose -
One with everyone, another…
Well, you know the way it goes.

So the one that made the yearbook
Was the photo incomplete 
And it made my blood just boil
To imagine that defeat.

Though apologies were given
And accepted by the teen,
We should all join in to shout
That stunt was M-E-A-N mean!

The Rejected Baby

It was my moral duty to operate and in many people's eyes, I was admired.
I did what needed to be done and because of that, I was fired.
Four years ago, a baby was born with Down Syndrome and he had a heart defect.
Because of his mental impairment, he was a baby who his parents chose to reject.
I told the parents that without an operation, their baby would die.
They told me not to operate and sadly, I understood the reason why.
They wanted him to die because of his Down Syndrome and some others and I protested.
The parents were taken to court but the judge agreed with what the parents requested.
Even though that damn judge upheld the parents decision, I operated anyway.
I saved that baby's life but my superiors were outraged and decided to make me pay.
I was fired but because of public outcry, they said that I would be reinstated.
I told them to go jump off a cliff, I wouldn't work for a hospital that I hated.
I was fired because of my moral scruples but I had the last laugh.
Now I work at a better hospital and I've become the Chief of Staff.

(This poem was inspired by a movie.)

Better Days Are Here

Better days are here
Down down it all goes 
It will all vanish
Your properties will be no more 
Your wealth will be a history
Your ambitions will live no more 
Down down it all goes 
It all will be gone one day 
You man full of greed 
You have curse the world alot damage 
You have destroyed enough
How long do you want to live on earth 
Cos down down it all goes 
Your cars yours mansion
Your expensive life styles
Your flashy towns 
Your flourishing greedy business 
It will be gone cos 
Down down it all goes 
Even you will end so down too one day 
No matter who you are and what you got 
Yes it all end down six feet 


Better days are here 
Down down it all goes 
Cos the better days can't be better 
If life is not worth it true essence
We can't be more sure of tomorrow
Cos we can hear the rumors of wars again 
Again it about to be a 
down down syndrome
No peace is allowed in this mad politics
Nowadays ego has taken over 
Remember I warn you about the end game
Remember I said 
Better days can't be sure with 
A down down game 
Be happy each day now 
Tomorrow is not sure
This is not a lie 
Appreciate every new day with peace
Hope for tomorrow but be grateful for today 
Remember Humans can never change 
The prove can be seen from the past to the present 
Down down it will all go again 
No one's knows when 
So appreciate today
