“It's like a chronic illness, living under a government that does not see or hear you, that does not care. There are many of us who have lived that way in more ways--for far longer--than others: people of color, women, immigrants, and, of course, the disabled and those suffering actual chronic illness and injury, each suffering their own misery, acknowledged more or less by the society at large depending on the current fashion. For those currently in charge of the systems that be, we who suffer are out of fashion.” — Shellen Lubin
It's like a chronic illness,
living under a government that does not see or hear you, that
does not care.
There are many of us who have lived that way
in more ways--for far longer--than others:
people of color, women, immigrants,
and, of course, the disabled and those suffering
actual chronic illness and injury,
each suffering their own misery,
acknowledged more or less by the society at large
depending on the current fashion.
For those currently in charge of the systems that be, we
who suffer
are
out of fashion.
