In the distance
He hears them talking
In the background
Whispering and mocking
Laughing and joking
Behind the curtain
At the expense
Of this innocent person
He doesn't know why
Because he's strange?
He may never know why
He's not the one to blame
He doesn't think he
Would act like that
Insulting and rude
Treating others like a mat
They have no respect
About what they say
It makes him wonder
When will they pay?
What if the shoe
They wear was his?
Would they regret
Ever doing this?
Maybe they would
Then again maybe not
He just wishes that
It would completely stop
