Where were you when they sacrificed my disabled brothers and sisters on the hillside
Where were you when they stripped my infant self of my womanhood-to-be
Where were you when they stunted me and sealed me in a box (no glass coffin for unsightly me)
Where were you when they taught me to deride those who saw the trap I was in
Where were you when they wrapped my coffin in a ship and made me one of their slaves
Where were you when they sent me into danger and made me hunt my kin
Where were you when they made my love an impossible dream
Where were you when they proclaimed my song 'a positive image of disability in SF'

I'm sorry.(I loved Anne's work as a teen...I'm afraid to pull those books off the shelf, now.)
