The first thing I had to do

Was convince all of my parents that poor people are good parents too,

so ingrained in their psyche that they couldn't get it.

the second thing I had to do was tell them you don't stand for injustice,

though they've never written one letter or one phone call.

The third thing I had to do was tell them that women are no different than men,

they have SEX!  Imagine that!

The fourth thing I had to do was succeed with a disability, be a published poet,

volunteer, and run races, still they want perfection even when it's not there.

I had to fight against all the odds to be a homeowner, to be a single mother

with a purpose, to be an activist and fighter all my life, with no help from anyone.

I'm not taking shit from you that says everyone is disability is a lazy taker.

Even on it, I've paid into it, no fault of my own that I should lose jobs.

Get On My Side for once in your life.

I'm more rational today

 just a combination of many things, social media, no free speech, after all the time I've spent, Phil's diagnosis, my fight for justice inching on 30 years of fighting, and seeing no light at the end of tunnel, thinking I'm doing it all myself, and can't get a simple reply of encouragement. plus I do everything to access, and getting burnt out so often, they made fun of me about that too, when so many people are like me.  you think you got me figured out, think again! I've decided to stay on my blog, and keep Messenger, and the internet, but no social media posts anymore, but I haven't deleted any account.
