Deaf Poem
I am the voice for every deaf child in the nation who has to walk
around school with an interpreter because having a deaf child
in a hearing school is so taboo that we turn back into the same
racist community where black is deaf and white is hearing. Cause
learning to sign a few fuking words takes away from the emotion
behind the terms .
But when you're passionate the words portray the emotion but
not in body language and to the deaf emotion is easily portrayed
cause what others have to say causes anger portrayed by perfectly
rapid signs with a consistent scowl in disgust.
You're presence disgust me and I'm not even deaf. If we only took
the time to listen to the beauty when a deaf person speaks... I
know when i say speak you think of letters forming words for you
to hear, but its not in the articulation of the words but in the
manifestation of the words that you’re saying. I wish these words
i'm saying would hit you deep, so that you mind wasn’t ignorantly
concrete so that you don't see the world in black and white.
I am Danica , a young deaf girl that was banned from signing on
her school bus. Cause A few Hearing kids are able to complain
that a deaf child was communicating the only way they know how.
Cause since when did communication interfere with anyone. From
what I was taught communication helped stop segregation, even
education.
See cause we only think of our needs and neglect the fact that
there are people out there that are extraordinary. Like how the
blind need Braille ; how a stoner needs weed; geeks needs the
quantum theory ; and like how I need you to understand that the
deaf need sign language .
