Monster Poem by Ibrar Siddiqi

Monster by society''s judgements.
Social networks splintered.
Familes and children falling apart.
I am a so simple.
With qualities so dear.
Want a better life with happiness and cheer.
I dress the way i will.
Walk that way i want.
Speak the way i have become accustomed to.
Not being you, me, that's who.

I cycle to walk, I don't want a car.
Go to the football and watch a game.
Sit on my onesome with thoughts in mind.
Pint glass or mobile in hand.

The young mock me for saying things i do.
But they have lss brain matter than i do.
The young and indifferent are so ignorant.

I live on the border of society's fringe.
Enough to be accepted and ignored.
Monster that I am.
Cannot see through the day.
Walking through the night.
Sleeping through issues of the day.

Dress in black so that i am not noticed.
Except by others of the same clan.
Rebelling against conformity.
Blasting uniformity.
People don; t like me.
Monster man.
