Injustice for the Disabled

Pain, anguish, broken heart,
Despair, worry, anger start.
A disabled woman parked at Houston hospital,
Forced to face what she may approximate
While cancer scan weighs on her mind,
A ticket for $500 she’ll have to find.

Concerns of health take a back seat,
When being punished for being incomplete.
What is this injustice, is it fair?
When she has naught to pay, what to share?
Where can she turn for a reprieve,
When will the struggle begin to leave?

No compassion, no mercy in sight,
This ticket grants her no respite.
A beam of hope to carry on through,
At crossroads and in dark times too.
What better way to hold her down,
Than harsh judgement without a sound?

Where is her value, her human rights?
How to combat when no one fights?
There needs to be help, support and friend,
When those in power hurt without an end.
A hefty ticket should not be the answer,
For disabled people they need to sanctioner.
