When I fail to SEE the suffering of people, <br />Do not call me a visually impaired, <br />But call me a blind. <br /> <br />When I ignore the agony of hard labor, <br />Do not call me a physically handicapped, <br />But call me a crippled. <br /> <br />When I am inaudible to the cries of help, <br />Do not call me a hearing impaired, <br />But call me a deaf. <br /> <br />When we, the able bodied find it tough, <br />To survive under the comfortable condition, <br />How do the disabled survive under the hostile limitation?<br /><br />veeraiyah subbulakshmi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-i-fail-to-see/
