Who Has The Handicap?

If you cannot see
the person
but only the handicap,
who then is blind?

If you cannot hear
the cries of your brother
for justice,
who then is deaf?

If you cannot talk
to your sister
but avoid her,
who has the mental problem?

If you do not stand up
to assert the rights
of every person,
who has the weak legs?

Your attitude to people
with handicaps
is our greatest obstacle,
and yours too.
