They did not understand
Why rumors did not affect him!
Neither gossip nor slander
Seemed to bother him at all!
And when they threw him out…
Locking the door behind him,
They were amazed to discover him…
Laughing and swinging on the swing,
In the backyard!
They could not sleep at night…
Even medicated!
Why?
They questioned!
Why is he doing ‘this’ to US?
And no one thought to change the locks!
And ‘he’ had the key!
He also owned the house and the property!
And he knew…
They were living on borrowed time!
His!
They believed they were doing him a favor,
By gracing him with ‘their’ presence!
And he enjoyed them not knowing…
He was running out of patience!
