last in line at the Salvation Army, for others,
a way age allows her to help virile legs 
handicapped by foolish pride.

Six Flags Over Ga

Handicapped access and Six Flags is an oximoron

Overheard in the exit line of the mine train ride:
Four year old girl states "That ride made my tummy very angry!!"

In the Land of Ruined Temples

beaming flowers of red
and magenta emancipating
trees breaking branches
handicapped yellow dog
ruminating cows urinating
healing potion in the
land of the ruined temples

Hephaestus

Hephaestus, god of fire,
had legendary skills.
Handicapped, and yet still
hailed as a smithing god,
his metalworking skills
helped him fashion weapons
hammered out for the gods.

Blurred Lenses

Emotionally handicapped,
This man is but a child,
He speaks half truths of pure delusion,
When sentiment arrives,

Emotionally handicapped,
Nothing's truly sincere,
The shallow love he shows for you,
Is nothing deep or dear

Premium Member Handicapped Players

Are you saddened, Earth?

In our quest for "World Peace" game,

We have scored our points-

We see, hear, feel, and digest;

Yet- blind, deaf, numb, starved- we lose.

Love's Expression

Her face turned, the lips smiled
Her eyes closed, and also cried
Tears of joy but not sorrow
They are sure to flow....

It was her first received proposal
A true man who was made to fall
For her love and not of her hands'
That were not proper making her handicapped

Golden Bubble

Golden Bubble

The handicapped and orally challenged
Must not be disdained or estranged
Although they cannot reverse the mute
At least, they can blow aloud the flute!

Disability is not inability, so they say. 
God listens more when the mute pray!

Premium Member Recalling Instances, Not Days

Recalling Instances, Not Days Written: by Tom Wright 8-30-2019 Time has handicapped my retention, And entire days can’t be recalled. But particular instances inside those days; Still clamor for immediate attention, From my past where they lie sprawled.

Premium Member Rat-I-Tude

Drivin' down the road
Slingin' a banana peel
It will rot it surely will

There's a park'n at stores
Handicapped spaces galore
No one will notice I'm sure

Now at Wally World
In the park'n lot
I'll not put my cart in that spot

Rebellious attitudes
Are totally Rat-I-Tude

Handicapped

slow slime
nothing like before

Unto you un-glue
this ugly face. 

While I wait 
for resurrection
I may even 
pierce my own hands

Churches wither
and I make pavement

Void of answers
is my speech impediment.

Members of Minority Groups

Discrimination applies to members of minority groups;
Should apply to handicapped and someone who stoops;
Indians here first,
And by us cursed;
Maybe poor postured President with eye lids that droop.

Premium Member Humm-

 
Humm, I have feet but I can't stand on the ground;
I have ears but I can't hear the sounds;
I'm not handicapped I'm handy whole;
 I'm perfect in my soul;
 I have eyes but I can't see;
it must be something hanging over me;

Premium Member Great Expectations

Man are expected to be born
Strong and healthy
But now he is somewhat handicapped in crisis
Blind to the logics
Deaf to the truths
Helpless to the salvations
When he faces a giant of danger in future
He may not be as lucky as
Jack in "Jack And The Beanstalk"
Outwitting the giant and cruelty
In this world

Want To Live,But No Bread For Me

Iam Hungry...Thirst is uncontrollable
It nearly kills me,Cries a poor one..
A dirty wasteland that is his home
but its a heaven for him,His mom
sick in the bed,He is handicapped.
Worms are eating his skinny body,NOBODY to help him!
He is helpless...he want to live 
But waiting for death,Help him god i pray to you....

Touch

The time has come for you to leave  me alone,  you have picked at me, ridiculed 
me, and put me down.   Now that you have satisfied your primeval need to cause 
pain, give your tongue and my heart a rest.  I cannot help that I don't look like you, 
nor would I want to.  I am my own person, in my own right, to be slow, deformed, 
ugly, handicapped, ordinary and .......feeling.

8 Minute Poem

This is the best part
To say what is on my mind
I’m suffocated with toxic
A lavish smoke that makes me grind

Intoxicating works
Routines and foolishness
I can’t stand on my feet
Like a handicapped old man

Potion and pills
Mix them together
I don’t see solution 
This blatant aggression.

This deep feeling in me
Can’t be scientifically solved
I just want to be drowned 
In a hot boiling water
sad

Storm

As the storm brews in the tenacious sky
One can only dream
When will the sun arrive?
Handicapped from planned pursuits
The chain from the shadows lurks
Wrapping around your being, all actions made mute
Sun, Savior, Liberator
When will you finally release these cuffs of confinement?

*I decided to write this one due to how Central Florida was stricken with a tornado warning yesterday. Sometimes, boredom is a good thing!:)

Salaam ! / Kudos ! (Ode To the Handicapped)

!


Cruel God’s crooked clasp,
Is worse than the sting of a wasp,
Genius, healthy, wealthy man,
Becomes an orphan and forlorn!

Childhood innocent,
Youth fragrant,
Tranquil prime,
Become a weird dream!

Defies God’s clout,
Becomes fear-less ‘n’ stout,
Undertakes an uphill task,
And reaches the mountaintop!

Handicapped albeit,
Dares God’s verdict,
Proves the worth by his action,
He is worthy of admiration!!

One Small Thought

One smalll thought
About this life....and who runs it:


It would seem to me that

The moral test of any government
Is how it treats those who are in the Dawn of Life:
Their c'hildren...
How it treats those who are in the Twilight of Life:
Their Elderly.....
And how it treats those who are in the Shadows of Life:
Their Sick
Their Needy
Their Disabled
And Their Handicapped......

How are WE doing
So far......
Yeah,
I thought so.....

Michael, My Son

He sees the world differently to me
And he can’t be what he wants to be
But he faces everyday in his own way
I worry about him and where he’ll stay

You see, he is handicapped
And needs some help not to be entrapped
In things that to him seem alright
May come back on him and bite

When the time has come for me
For death to be the thing I see
What will happen in this cruel world
Will he be happy in his future meld
