Please don’t let me be misunderstood
It’s a lonely road being intelligent life experienced
& well read yet still an open book.
One feels very lonely & the likelihood of being
misjudged by the crowd.
& the crowd gangs up.
The old Frankenstein conclusion of lonely bad, friend
good.
I speak as I can.
I’m not strategic.
I am seeking emotional & intellectual intimacy
with most every encounter.
But people fear me or hate me same thing often.
I believe the problem most crucial on Planet Earth is
loneliness.
& so I speak freely of my self, believing that if
we were more open, people would feel less alone.
You know this Western Model of saving your true self
for your home & acting the bonhomie in the world is increasing the rate
of suicides, homicides & people dying of despair.
No nice cadence.
My lonely tears end this poem.
