<br>
<br>
So why aren&#39;t more people going to see it?
<br>

&quot;Murderball&quot; is the true story of the U.S. wheelchair rugby team, and the stars are real-life quadriplegic athletes. Their sport, also called... ]]></description>

I was not made this way

For your pleasure,
<br>
To be the humor
<br>
Of your joke.
<br>
I don&#39;t know about you,
<br>
But personally,
<br>
I don&#39;t like to be provoked.
<br>
I was not made this way
<br>
To be taken advantage of,
<br>
To be run over or mistreated.
<br>
I don&#39;t require your distasteful spirit,
<br>
So keep it!

I was not made this way
<br>
To be mocked,

To serve as your entertainment for... ]]></description>
