how to help
do you donate to those huge charities
making millions a year for people like me?
some of them now have been here for decades,
all your money given made little change.
the existence of those charities depends on dependency,
what we really need is freedom and equality.
we never asked them to represent us
we do self represent, but its hard raising funds.
so this year don't give to those HUGE charities,
assist groups run by disabled people please.
just respect us, employ us and let us in,
don't abuse us, exclude us, or dump us in homes.
give information in braille and on tape do,
in plain english and sign language video too,
don't sneer or judge us as less than you,
let us in your schools, your community too.
give support to us fighting to change the world
not who need us in need, because that's how they earn.
If you'd like to help our people, then please,
help us change society and don't donate 5p.
