Imagine- a poem by Mark J Hublar

Imagine a place with no bullies, it is easy to do. Include everyone in your kindness – and it will come back to you.

Imagine everyone with a real job! It’s not hard to do. People with disabilities can be included- and can make money too.

Imagine everyone with an education, it is easy to do. People with disabilities need to learn- so include us too.

Imagine everyone with a social life! It can be done. People with disabilities should be included so they can have fun.

Imagine everyone living on their own- it’s easy to see. If it includes you, then it should include me.

Imagine equal rights! It’s easy to do. Laws can be changed- and it can begin with you.

You may say that I’m a dreamer, but it’s easy to see…being included is what matters to me.
