Disability Studies have opened the doors into the gloomy autocratic world of domination, colonisation and suppression, which has engulfed the voice of the voiceless in complete darkness. This paper aims to bring out the voice of the voiceless natives, which has been suppressed and disabled for decades by the monopolistic society. The agony, sufferings and the cries of the natives have been pathetically depicted by David Rubadiri and A. M. Klein in their poems A Negro Labourer in Liverpool and Indian Reservation: Caughnawaga respectively. It also questions the existence of such unjust structures in society in an attempt to draw the attention of the world to witness the plight of the natives in this hypocritical world.
