Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Among Us

they walk among us tall and proud
appearances deceiving until
they share what’s on their mind
then things don’t quite add up

their babble quite disturbing
plays havoc with our mind
it wouldn’t be polite to say
any one of our possible retorts
best bite our tongue and not engage
it’s not their game we want to play
so still they walk among us tall and proud
