Loyalty and Laughter
We gather together as friends.
We teach other things,
and share our lives as one.
Strangers come
and take pieces
and parts…
and…
leave worms
and
bugs.
Not good worms for fishing.
Not good bugs like ladies or butter…
Just black things that crawl,
and leave trails where they have been.
Out of courtesy no one says anything.
It is pleasant for a while.
All try to over look the one point,
“alike and different”,
“same and not”.
These are the things we learned
early at school.
Put the same in the box.
Those that are not,
can still fit if they want too,
but if they do not,
they will always make,
the rest, fit less well,
or not at all.
Loyalty broken
Laughter ended.
Strangers can be friends,
but bugs are just bugs.
