The Difference..........0000 Poem by RIC BASTASA

you have arrived
we welcome you
but soon you will
know all our sorrow
when you arrive here
we will not warn you
we will embrace you
and make you feel
one of us, but then
soon you will discover
what we are and who we are,
and why we stayed for
this long. We will hug
you again to make you
feel the real reason
why we stayed some more.
you are worthless here
just as we are, or at
least considered to be
just how worthless we
really are, but, we
will wait for you, some
more, to make the difference.
and then you will not be
like us anymore, and then
we will be like you again.
