<P> `` Disabled '' is a war poem by Wilfred Owen written in 1917 . It expresses the tormented thoughts and recollections of a teenaged soldier in World War I who has lost his limbs in battle and is now confined to a wheelchair . The subject contrasts the predicament he is now in with the youthful pleasures he had enjoyed `` before he threw away his knees '' . He recalls the impetuous circumstances in which he enlisted , notes how the crowds that greeted his return were smaller and less enthusiastic than those who cheered his departure , and laments how women no longer look at him but at `` the strong men who were whole '' . </P>
