I WISH I HAD A DISABILITY

I wish I had a disability, a disability in discriminating those that

society deems as disabled.

Words are deeper than the letters that make them,

Words become worse if you break them; down into segments we

sometimes call statements. They say through words we get

connected,

but they forget that sometimes through words we may be

disconnected.

Society causes anxiety in many innocent souls out there; using

Stigmatory words like ‘the blind, the deaf, and the crippled’…

Not knowing it is actually their souls that we cripple,

each time we mention these soul-crippling words which make our

brothers and sisters’ situation seem worse,

yet

Nobody is ABLE to DISABLE that which the CREATOR has

ENABLED.

Time and time again, we make them believe that God made them to

be incomplete, and we let it sink in their

Hearts

that for every missing part in their lives,

they have God to blame,

As we persistently call them lame,

…not knowing that it is actually our attitude that

Makes things remain the same.

It is a shame

to God, each time we give

His masterpiece an ugly shape, painting black the glorious image of

God as we utter the kind of words which are not kind to humankind,

and that is why

I wish I had a disability, a disability in discriminating those that

society deems as disabled.

It is a pity people judge by physical appearance

but they fail to look beyond what meets the eye,

 because there is a difference

between the eye that looks and the eye that sees…

If only we could cease

 to

Judge and let God be the judge,

just let Him be in charge

so He can

handicap

Each and every single hand holding a grudge

against The One

who’s in charge

For all that we are.

See, sometimes I wish I had a disability, a disability in

discriminating those that society deems as disabled.

Sometimes I wish I was handicapped, handicapped from holding

Grudges against others.

Sometimes I wish I was lame so my feet would not take me to

places

My conscience hates.

Sometimes I wish I was deaf so my ears could not hear the

intoxicating

Words that pollute our minds and poison our souls.

Sometimes I wish I was blind so my eyes could not be blinded by

the

Enticing things that the world presents before our eyes to sabotage

Our future…yes ! sometimes,

I just wish I had a disability.

How I pray that we all realize our own personal disabilities before

we start labelling others; and the greatest disability of humankind is

the failure to do what is right when everybody else is wrong.

And as a matter of fact, nobody is disabled…it is just that OUR

ABILITIES ARE NOT THE SAME!!
