In Front Of Everyone Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

They would have preferred I had been a clown,
Instead of the king of my domain.
I knew they would discovered that...
And finding me,
Who I am as seen...
Quite the same.

I am still the one they have called names.
And also the one
They will come to for truth!
Since that is all that will be sustained,
Inside the environment they have discovered
As my domain!

And it's all strange to me,
How this was done!
Not behind them at all...
But in front of everyone!
