Introverted Sage

Is It

The soul becomes dyed with the colour of its thoughts.
~Marcus Aurelius~

Is it really that easy to turn the other cheek?
Is it too much– to stand up for the meek?
Walking over the homeless– asleep on the streets.
On your way to a bar hop or fancy meet and greets.
Can I say bleak?
Won’t make eye contact– let alone speak.
And the stricken are the freaks?
Is that what you really believe?
 
~I.S.~
