Disability, Beyond Physical Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

Disability: Something that disables
or disqualifies one.
We have disability of the mind
We have disability of the heart
We have disability of the eye

When one has no money
to execute an obligation
he is disabled, or
when love is broken, or
trust betrayed, there is
disability of the heart, or
when there is divorce in
a marriage, there is
disability of a vow, or
those that are in prison,
orphans, widows, widowers
amongst others are disabled.

So, the physically challenged should
rise from slumber because
disability is beyund physical,
it is of a mind set! And it starts from
one being discontent; then,
being disabled, incapacitation
would engulf the disabled
more than the crowd of the populace
visiting a marriage that was
likely to be held in heaven

Disability is beyond physical!
