Cinemas hear me: a poem about the deaf community’s need.<\/p>\n
Cinemas hear me, loud and clear<\/p>\n
Cinemas see me, hands that’s sign<\/p>\n
A film with no subtitles<\/p>\n
Is no film of mine<\/p>\n
Some of us hear the mumbling<\/p>\n
Some of us hear nothing at all<\/p>\n
We’re sure the plots really great<\/p>\n
But we’ve hit a wall<\/p>\n
People say they hate subtitles<\/p>\n
They find they get in the way<\/p>\n
But when did their likes<\/p>\n
Silence equal say<\/p>\n
We want equality for all<\/p>\n
For the deaf world, hearing and more<\/p>\n
If we don’t get subs<\/p>\n
Prejudice is at core<\/p>\n
Accessibilities not there<\/p>\n
The film: we cannot understand<\/p>\n
But others voices are louder<\/p>\n
Your eyes are closed to our signs<\/p>\n
Please help us get more subtitled films into screenings.<\/p>\n
Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
