Text box “The disabled do not need the patronage of the non-disabled. It is not for them to adapt to the dominant and dominating world of the so-called non-disabled.

A poem (in name only) Say Uncle Sam: Pro Semitic Faux The harrowed tip of the halberd That hallowed shard of hate Harassed out of Europe To hail a home again Herald a cause of virtue Held enforced aloft Heard while others marched or penned In tents that time forgot Hewn haggard by the halberd Sown in tears of blood Born to lay a base, and grow Into father’s son

A chimpanzee sits in a high chair, a well dressed man cuddles it. Caption reads: Susie had just had her photograph taken by flash-light. She did not like it and was dis-inclined to face the machine again, but Dr. Garner told her in her own language that it was all right, and you can see by Susie's expression that she was going to take his word for it although still rather anxious.

Imparting such as sorrow Diligence beware To set up my tomorrow Sins of fathers spare I can but love my forebears In truth a legacy Saw grievances of well do ne’ers Fall beneath our seas That power and that glory Pom pomp a plume of pride A pen the spoil of victory A fence, a place to hide So Jack and George should fly As this mast must make old bones More a rod now less a spine For a realm of hungry ghosts

It is the price we pay for the sugar you eat in Europe. Yet when my mother sold me for ten Patagonian écus [Spanish American coins] on the coast of Guinea, she told me: “My child, give thanks to our fetishes [sacred objects worshiped in tribal societies], and worship them always, for they will make your life happy; you have the honour to be a slave to our white masters, and therefore you are making the fortune of your father and mother.” Alas! I don’t know if I made their fortune, but they certainly didn’t make mine.
When I grew up, Britannia was cool Prejudice, we knew was a ghoul But love for one’s queen Spilled over to clean The bumbling gaffes of her boo And one friend, I could add too A preacher, who lived like the few He preyed on a dream Could save through TV How profits can hide in good news And they say, that all parents do Without any mindset to choose But favouring one Minus inspection Can value esteem despite proof
