I am rendered handicapped,
By the nature,
At the fag end of my life,
It was all my fault,
Yet, we are told that such,
People should be called as,
Physically challenged,
Or 'differently' abled.
There is a good sense in this,
For such people should not be,
Treated as sort of 'useless' or,
To be discarded ones,
They might have had lot of,
Good abilities, and talents,
And now due to some reason,
They have become,
Physically challenged ones,
Since, they have to do even,
Basic things with great difficulties,
And in most cases some of them,
Might be really differently abled.
Our society, in all probability,
Would look down upon,
Them as people to be pitied upon,
And would treat them differently,
Than other normal ones.
(And a lazy thought that these people
have been punished by the nature).
When these special people,
Come to know this,
They feel 'bad' and don't blame,
The society, but their own selves only,
Because in many cases,
They themselves were/are,
Responsible for their disabilities,
How and why that would have,
Happened is a different question.
Only they know how difficult is,
Their life, and it cannot be described,
In simple language,
What they do is to shed tears,
And feel somewhat relaxed,
Thank the nature that it has,
Evolved this device of tears,
Because I came out of that,
Mental state by only crying,
And weeping for several times,
And lived with the shedding of,
The salty and warm drops of tears,
That sweetened my,
Then coming days.
