A Game Of Charades Poem by Sinclair Azubuike Farrell

We each develop a character
In life
Acting out a personality
We created
Using wordplay
Each day
Imitating what we perceive
As the norm
A behaviour which, often conforms
To standards already set
In stone
Some think outside the box
In defiance
Of rules or codes of conduct
Already established
Rebels who point blank refuse
To play by the rules
Because it's not normal
This game we play
Keeping up a pretence
In falsity's face
Pretending what we believe
Is true
When it is clearly not
A guessing game to be played
By those who want to keep up
The charade.
