Analysis of Them
They sing their stories
Their callous stories
They play their victorious drums
Our hearts beat to the rhythm of their drums
We are lost in our own misery
Their happiness a result of our misery
They dance to the sound of our cries
They listen reluctantly to our silent cries
They tend not to our heart beats
They concentrate on their joyful drum beats
Who are they to deform us
They are no different from us
