For the Deaf Child

A poem in honor of AVT-BS, DBC, dDeaf AND hearing people there . . .

. . .

(drumming begins)

. . .

Soldier On, March On, Forge On

For our dDeaf children, the Deaf Child 

. . .

Soldier on, thy Deaf comrades

With thy Deaf Conscience purest 

. . .

March on, onto the green hills in Virginia

to the Volt’s Summer Conference 

. . .

Forge on, to fight only an arm

of the Giant Octopus Volt 

. . .

Soldier On, March On, Forge On

For our dDeaf children, the Deaf Child 

. . . 

Soldier on, to awake the slumbering Giant

of the General Public about Castle Volt 

. . .

March on, sign “loudly” and articulate well

Using interpreters and codas, our natural allies

. . . 

Forge On, with hearing and deaf parents

Who believe in the Deaf Child, first 

. . .

Soldier On, March On, Forge On

For our deaf children, the Deaf Child

. . . 

Solider on, today’s battle won or lost? no matter

We have just begun a War against Octopus Volt

. . . 

March on, to Volta Bureau in Georgetown

Another arm, recruiting soldiers from nearby 

. . . 

Forge On, against National Geographic Magazine

Another arm, refusing to do an article on the Deaf. 

. . . 

Soldier On, March On, Forge On

With loving kindness for our Deaf Child 

. . .

Soldier On, with loving kindness

To make them realize Language comes first 

. . .

March On, to many more Battle sites

with the people of Volt to wake them up 

. . . 

Forge on, show them the Book

Of our history and irrevocable bilingualism 

. . . 

Soldier On, March on, Forge On

With loving kindness for our Deaf Child 

. . . 

Soldier on, but don’t destroy the Volt soldiers

Love them as one of our sacred comrades 

. . . 

March on, toward Castle Volt

But don’t burn the castle down, cherish it 

. . . 

Forge on, make them our expert in teaching speech

Not on how to raise our Deaf Child holistically 

. . .

Soldier on, March On, Forge On

For our dDeaf children, the Deaf Child

 . . .

Soldier on, make them JOIN US in the War

To liberate the minds and souls our deaf children

. . .

March on, for our dDeaf children of the Now

and the Deaf Child of the Future

. . . 

Forge on, for our dDeaf children

And for the Deaf Child within us . . .  

. . . 

Soldier On, March on, and Forge on! 

. . .

Solider On! 

March On! 

Forge On!

. . . 

(drumming ceases) 

. . .

Amen
