POEM for those left standing...
'I am a person stuck with unrequested labels, Northern, female/
Short-sighted, red-haired, maladroit/
I worked for others, as a student, parent, activist, poet/
Some labels I aspired to: Quaker, world traveller, true artist, cook/
And others came from cruel authority/
Dispensed regardless...‘Too disabled'... to be me/
That closed some minor official’s little book/
Upon my whole life's purposes.../
But I live for human rights and human worth./
I did not earn their scornful look./
I am a human being/
I am real./
And you can watch me for this hour/
To find out how I feel.../
Those officials cursed me with the label of disability/impairment/deficit/
Of being one of 'them’, not one of ‘us’./
But I am human, I am real/
I am a person who can feel./
I will defeat their bureaucratizing zeal./
Now look into the utter folly of their fear./
It is every person's potential power that I reveal/
By simply standing here.
