Artistically Talented

By Linda4ever

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

What do people mean when they say You're stupid?  retarded?  smart? I believe this is one of society's errors: To think it has the right to judge based on ability. In my eyes, the smart are actually average, While the ones labelled retarded or dumb Are, in reality, artistically talented. They are the ones who deserve credit. It's true, they aren't like us, But they shine with a light that Exposes so much more. They may be blind, But they see with startling clarity. They may be deaf, But they hear the truth. Why do they make us look like fools? Because what we are, We don't appreciate. They often have so much less, But they are so full of pride.
