NAMES

So many names of things
you'd think we were kings

or in a royal way
when we sing to a higher realm

we try to be loyal as any priest
that life not overwhelm,

constantly feeling as a foil
to others as in Chelm,

or a fool that barely survives
our days at school,

with lives running and rife
as the beast or wild child

yet knowing inside
that we are the least.
