Myself
All I’m known for is indignancey
Unilaterally, that’s all I guess.
Dilated perceptions since infancy
Righteous soap box preaching to brick walls at best.
Even though the rest, my peers, won’t see bigotry,
Youth is all the time I have to set man free.
Leaving my obvious role, it having shined,
A deeper probe shows a lonesome life.
Under that, a promising mind,
Gravely refusing the destiny of “wife”.
Happy instead to help those left behind,
Really striving to perceive man beyond first sight.
Every cent I forsake, not due to kindness,
Yanking cloth of pockets for causes is right.
(2014)
This is a simple acrostic poem describing my perceived role in society.
