Her Son Is Autistic

Though her child is autistic Each cell of him, a human being And it was really very tragic That someone could be so hating Spiteful and intolerant To write that dreadful letter Seething with malicious rant Addressed to the boy's mother Suggesting to her callously What only a dark heart could say To euthanize him is the remedy A quick fix to put him away I cannot for the life of me Perceive such venomous words Poison darts that can pierce deeply To cause the pain that it accords For autism is no crime we punish With death or hate or bigotry All children are gifts we cherish To care and to love, that's humanity!
