Freaks

Step right up,
step right up!
Come!
See!
We have them,
freaks.
Freaks for every taste.
See,
the seven foot man,
the two headed calf,
the bearded lady...
and!
the living tattoo!
Come! Point!
Laugh at the misfits!
Only a nickel!

....
...
..
.
They went,
saw
and laughed.
Fun to watch the freaks.
Pointing, leering, laughing.
"They" are different,
"they" ...are not human.

...
..
.
Why?
Why!
Laugh at others?
Point and laugh, sneer?
Freaks?
They are freaks?
I say; nay!
Look, watch, see...gaze in the mirror!
There... there, you see
the one whom points
and they be not human but a freak.
For no human can have
a
hart
of
STONE!

    This should be taken very seriously

    I agree, This should be taken very seriously. I really like this poem. It has a lot to say way beyond what you have written. It’s just amazing! I love it. And it’s true people that think people that are different from them are freaks, people that make fun of other people, or make life horrible cause they’re not like are the freaks. Like my mom and dad. They make fun of everything I do and the immature teachers and kids at my school, they think I’m a freak when they are. Anyways all I have left to say is that this poem absolutely rocks harder than my most favorite bands. Please don’t Stop Writing.
