It means to slow. Developmentally

It means to slow. Developmentally challenged And now because of a powerful man It means them What are they slow in? Only things seen to be normal But, may I ask, Who is What is Where is Normal? Sure their speaking abilities may not be the same The fact that not all look what society says to be proper is a crying shame You may even see it. It may be at their core Their beauty is not hidden Of that I’m sure They may be ‘differently abled’ In things we call weird Talking with hands Programming TVs at rapid rate Remembering facts no one could ever seem to remember They are defined by that word. I could leave it there. I see her everyday for the past 14 years We watch her shows I scare her a little bit Just to hear that beautiful chuckle That goes along with the most beautiful girl I have ever known My family has known him since he was tiny He speaks kind of fast But man oh man Does that boy have wonderful recall I met her only once But at the end of our time she said I love you, BLAH! and gave me a hug. And boy has that girl stuck. I have a new friend He’s only 8 But he can make the funniest faces You simply could not recreate and don’t ever forget, And his favorite color is red! But to everyone else they’re hidden And it’s a damn shame These people are a blessing They shouldn’t be hidden They’re shoved in the closet even more so than gays And ridiculed even more than the religious who sit in the front pew. “Oh I know someone like that” But we know the truth, out of sight out of mind. Short Bus. Slow R-word just to name a few They are not stupid Just a little different from you.
