My [Cheshire] Cat

It’s True,

Of late I feel  I’ve been rejected

It’s  academically arguable and I’m accepting it

I believe it’s a viable  theory,  an intelligent hypothesis.

I’ve been rejected—

A fact for me to digest.

Yes of course it’s sad--and all

Still, Yes and However,

I accept

As I do not wish to  ‘pretend’

That My views are different than those of others

In this case, You!

And I do offend

Sensibilities of many

And it’s true,  I wish

To search life while here

I  have no intention to Stop

 Examining To some Understanding

Which seems to be my offence

So far as you are concerned

Dismissing me with angry accusation of my ‘com plex’

So you do not want,

To be disturbed

Nor to accompany me

But No, it is NOT

That a major problem lies with me

And my so-called ‘com plex’

Which according to you

Is that I hate men.

That’s a very strange conclusion

We won’t go into that.

Quite the opposite

I think instead

Sorry to Say there’s an unfortunate truth,

That the Late Peter Rhule¹    Has pointed out

In his book

 ‘Men are stupid, Women are Crazy’,

Even while I  hasten  to add

That of course the cliche does not apply

 At all

In significant cases, 

Albeit it does-- in too many!

Hormonally charged    Crazy-stupid warring guys

Women prohibited from

Attending formal classes

Let’s all try something different

Why drive each other mad

Do you think we live forever,

Or are you so depressed

My first large step is due,  here and now,

It’s  that    I SHALL take confidence

In my own brilliances! 

Thank you!

You have just made me realise, I have to invest,

In Me YES

And stop  gifting you

Meeting  vampire-like,  time wasting  ideas

effects of which it seems you are not aware

I’ve tried to suggest

a two-person arrangement, a friendship

Not just a situation for your personal dictations, Your ego and edification

It would be a happy situation

For everyone

To see a healing of  your depression/s

And not joining

Or staying around

Others,    Who’ve  not yet found

Any semblance whatsoever 

Of satisfying directions

But instead listened and practiced violent reactions

I cannot solve your difficulties

You’ve not responded to my help where able,

Rejected many doctors’ credentials

If not arrogance, definitely a symptom needing assistance

So we part, and I sincerely say

That I love you, yours is another good human heart,

A friend from many years,

With much work to do 

I would like to hear

That more peace in this life arrives tout suite for you too.
