Don't be a Bigot, Son
I know
the man who grooms you
commits
grave
sins
against you
teaching you that your
blessed family is
shameful
because
your father is disabled
and has many children
The very crime
murdering his reputation
bigotry
a bias crime
making it so much worse
in eyes of men
and God
Such a heavier sentence
awaits
such perpetrators of
hate crimes

Good advice. To me it is so near blasphemous to say that of one's parent or child is unfortunate to be disabled or be a person with special needs; a clergyman in my area who has two autistic teenage sons has told me over local radio how hurt he gets by the odd person who asks, 'So you're a vicar [pastor in US parlance], and you have the Devil's children?'

Thanks for commenting! Yes, crazy people, to judge those supporting and filling society, even if it's a disabled child coming into the world. We need our disabled people. They contribute very muchly to our society, too!
