Oh does a man only yearn for the respect and attention he deserves; not that of simple greed, but his entitlement.

But the world is a cruel mistress- where the mind says to take, and take, and a man is left in the remains of what has been taken.

I for one weep for the man who was not spared the road on which he stands, for I am compassionate.

For I know this road.

I want nothing more than to spare the fellow man the pain that this road may bring.

I want nothing more, than for my peers to recognize this, as I do.

Because we do not know- his reasons or actions that have brought him to this.

Is it a troubled past?  Troubled Present?  Or troubled future?

Or maybe it his not his own choice; but of comfort in seclusion.

Maybe in his past, friends- scared him.  Modeled him into this.

He may never leave- this road that the lonely walk.

But I know- I have found myself on it thus again.
