His intelligence made others scorn,
for he expressed his views with authority, he called spade a spade,
brutal in his retrospection
like a wiseacre
labeling the facts with brute force
And he often wonders
why he was left alone
in his otherwise hugely populated milieu, only if would have realized
truth is not what everyone wants,
the perception of the ostensible world

Hmmmm, well written. To me, telling the truth is good, but such personalities, go about it in the wrong way.
I think it is the balance – how you convey it – thanks for your kind read
My pleasure, Shantanu.

This is so true!
Thanks so much, Yasmin 😊🌸
So true Shantanu. Everyone demands the truth but only few can handle it.
True that. Thanks for reading so beautifully
