Don't, Don't, Don't
I am not disabled
I am differently abled
I don't want to be treated
Like a man uncompleted
Not like half a man
Despite the cat scan
You don't have to talk loudly
Or adopt me so proudly
Don't talk about my back behind me
It makes me scream like a banshee
Don't treat me anything like a retard
Don't even treat a retard like a retard
Don't look down your nose
It's only you, you expose
Don't treat me like a child
It makes we feel defiled
A man who mocks disabled folk
Is not a man just a joke
A woman who also mocks
Her hearts retarded, full of pox
I might not have feet or legs
Just don't treat me like the dregs
I am a real man who needs love
Especially when nothing comes from above
From these hands, poetry flows
Despite few highs and so many lows
Rather than suggesting I take my life
Mocking in poetry causing strife
Just come and knock on my front door
There is something else my hands are for
Chicken shits that hide behind anonymity
Are not real poets and deserve your pity
Things like this happen on DU as elsewhere
Done in secret one day I will share
These people fear the truth
I am about to become uncouth
As in real life, I name and shame
I have no fear as I take aim
The truth will out
There will be no doubt
The predators and liars
Exposure requires
Action

thank you, Michael, for your comments :-)))))))))))
Only bad people need to be concerned but knowing them as I do they will not feel the need to be concerned until its too late
such is life sometimes Karma needs a little nudge

There are so many words I can think of to touch on the person you are...but none of them lie on the debit side of the spectrum. You, my dear friend, are a warrior of monumental proportions and spirit. Nothing can touch that. Fuck 'em! Fight on, I'm right by your side, all fierce and shit. Much love, my friend, so much love!
...ever your Willow

No one has the right to belittle... that is a true reflection of who they are, not who you are...
And these lines really shown forth ...
"I am a real man who needs love
Especially when nothing comes from above" something we all long for and should strive to give ...
Big hugs !!

Bravo!!! You've always been a hero to me from the first time that I've read you. And I agree. Never hide. Tell the truth or shut up because why be fake. The whole world is fake and too few are brave enough to say here I am, love me, hate me or walk away. Love you, David!!!

In Being a hero of yours, you might be disappointed I am just a man and just ok. The few who know me really well, truly know who and what I am.
Thank you so much for such positive comments
Love given equals mutual coming in the opposite way :-))))
