Blurry Lines: Disability vs. Ability


(Inspired by a story from Karen Feld.)

Each one of us is handicapped by things we cannot change;
it might be anything from mental illness to the mange.
As such it well behooves us to engage the Golden Rule
and never call another rogue or cripple or a fool.
If Donald Trump thinks he's immune from all the slings and arrows
of mortal life he ought to be embalmed with all the pharaohs.
He'll find that calling names wins nothing but the world's contempt,
plus heightened caution for what lurks beneath that hair unkempt
