Though her child is autistic <br />Each cell of him, a human being <br />And it was really very tragic <br />That someone could be so hating <br />Spiteful and intolerant <br />To write that dreadful letter <br />Seething with malicious rant <br />Addressed to the boy's mother <br />Suggesting to her callously <br />What only a dark heart could say <br />To euthanize him is the remedy <br />A quick fix to put him away <br />I cannot for the life of me <br />Perceive such venomous words <br />Poison darts that can pierce deeply <br />To cause the pain that it accords <br />For autism is no crime we punish <br />With death or hate or bigotry <br />All children are gifts we cherish <br />To care and to love, that's humanity!<br /><br />Cynthia BuhainBaello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/her-son-is-autistic/
