Stranger in a Strange Land

Oh the hardship

Of enduring

To be a stranger

In a strange land

To be without a tongue

To talk

Without an ear to hear

To stick out everywhere

Like a sore old thumb

Everyday we meet the challenge

Of being oddities in a zoo

Stared at

Ridiculed

A spectacle to endure

And we endure, endure

And endure

Everyday we endure

Day after day

We hide when and where we can

And keep our distance

And avoid minor instances

That remind us of our differences
