Much More Than Rain Man

written by: Alex Andy Phuong

Rain Man won “Best Picture”
Dustin Hoffman shed light
On what life is like
For autistics who have trouble
Perceiving and accepting reality
I am personally a fool who dreams
Related and relevant to MLK
Crazy as I may seem
Please do not say that I cannot
Because I am an autistic savant!
