Bones is one of
“them”.  
Oh, you know
who I mean by
“them”,

why of course,
it’s one of
“those”
people that are,
well—
not quite up to par
with “us”.  

They live in that
“other”
part of town,
and they do those
“other”
kinds of things,
things that none of
“us”
would ever think of doing.  

Why,
sometimes I wonder if
“they”
are even human.

Bobby

Amazing isn't it how people can be so judgemental and look down their noses without knowing all the facts?

To heck with them all Bones!

Thanks Eric,

Bones is comfortable about who, and what he is.

Bones must change company and if it is possible meet some other people for not being one of them.

Thanks Yann,

Sorry, but Bones is satisfied with his present company.  He is very happy being one of "Them."

Just like me, Bones has been one of "Them" since the day he was born.

I used to think there was an us and a them.
Now I know better. Some peolple are just able to fool others.

Thanks dear Ida,

In the real world there is no “us” and “them”.  However, we don’t always live in the real world.  Sometimes we live in a make-believe world that can be pretty horrible.

One memory of childhood that I will never forget, was watching a grown man walking down the center of the street, so that he wouldn’t come in contact with us.

That was a very silly thing for him to do, as we weren’t about to attack, and couldn’t anyway, because he was big.  

However, there it was—“us” and “them”.

It did make us feel bad.

Love Bobby
