Just
Living your defective life,
social experiments tested
25 years to discover,
the truths you requested
Wandering through lives,
watching and listening
Failed community concentric
lonely thinker, internal glistening,
Excruciating shoulder rubbing,
reactionary subjective critique
Incapable of feeling him out,
he maintained his mystique
Unbearable dangerous compulsion,
neurotic social pressure
Head always buried in books,
many a self taught refresher
Greed for correct knowledge,
already reasoned, though
Self prescribed daydreams,
thank goodness, he continues to grow
