We Are What We Are Poem by Randy McClave

A cat might growl and think it is a dog
Then it might bark at people that are walking by,
A sparrow may believe that it is an eagle
While it is sailing up high above the earth in the sky,
A turtle could croak and say that it is a frog
As it sits alone upon a log in a pond,
A woman might say that she is a true redhead
Even though in her hair there are traces of blond,
A man might think and say that he is a very rich person
He might call his home a mansion and his boat a yacht,
But, in the end we all accept what we want to believe
We are what we are, until someone says that we are not.
