HUMANITY
In the shadows of reality
Many are unseen in society
Overlooked without recourse
Never knowing how to use available resources . . .
Without a voice to aid their cause
No protection found in our laws
Hidden and kept out of sight
No one understands their plight . . .
The cause isn't very well known
So no one ever throws them a bone
Injustice and inequality for all
Who among you will answer their call?
Never really politically correct
No one aids or really affects
The way they are viewed and misunderstood
Helpless, voiceless, no services ~ nothing good . . .
Institutionalized and kept out of view
So much of life they never knew
Never to feel wanted and appreciated
Seen as worthless, their value depreciated . . .
"Mentally Ill" or "Developmentally Disabled"
Oh, how much I loath those stupid labels
"Retarded" and "Slow" are so much worse
Those labels cause me to curse . . .
For the system that is supposed to aid
Leaves many in darkness I'm afraid . . .
