What Right Have You To Judge The Man 'To One With A Speech Impediment' Poem by Francis Duggan

What Right Have You To Judge The Man 'To One With A Speech Impediment'

Rating: 5.0


Some of my so called friends think I'm a idiot I've been told that's what they say
But have they a special right to judge me and if so then what are they?
Did they not come from human woman and are they that different to I
Or are they a special breed of people, a special type not meant to die? .

Some of my so called friends try to imitate my laughter but my laughter is my own
They stung and hurt my feelings deeply as mine is not a heart of stone,
My so called friends were only strangers and far apart from them I've grown
My so called friends I never knew them and now once more I walk alone

My so called friends I do not like them though them I refuse to hate
They laugh at my impediments and my speech they imitate,
My so called friends are only so called to them I cannot relate
As he who laugh at but not with me never can be called a mate.

My so called friends are only strangers only strangers when we meet
Only say good day and pass on when I meet them on the street
They have hurt my feelings badly and though them I can forgive
I feel better off without them and without them I can live.
