You’re here, you’re there, you’re everywhere!
Are you with me? Listening, discussing, sending a glare
Voicing your thoughts without really speaking!
Are you really there? Helping, fumbling for wording
Your ideas without being demeaning, or derogatory,
Or critical of me every time I raise a brow, or cheerily
Exclaim my feelings as we speak, or gesticulate freely
To get my point across without misunderstanding.
For a moment there, while talking, I escaped into my
World, created by my imagination, where justice is Never a lie,
Rather it’s the rule, where those who hurt others
Are punished based on the severity of their actions.
Oh what a wonderful wonder that world would be!
Any defamation or horrendous slight is penalized
In accordance to their actions. Pleasured
By all around us, feelings of superiority or inferiority
Are annexed, as all walks of life are needed to favorably
Survive a life filled with differences in needs and abilities.
