It’s a bloke’s thing doesn’t mean it’s lacking class or if you’re fixated gorgeous ass but it’s focussed
believe me you cannot live having failed to see the sense of a guy’s view where tragedy collapsed
pronouncing histrionics properly if you know what it means is enough to void citizenship in a unique brotherhood of civility
to become a man you had to learn sensitivity is an enemy and it thus seems join the band of a few who covertly knew
so I write poetry if you have time to review what it means then you too passed the test and can keep your own peace © 11 April 2010, I. D. Carswell

in the 4th stanza do you mean 'to become a man'?
I like this for a few reasons. Every time I write I feel like a renegade, an outsider from the local status quo. I don't know of any way to express art, either visual or literary without some form of sensitivity. Even Bukowski, my favorite, in all his lewdness and crude style gets through to me because he understood delicate balances within the most dismal social conditions. When I find art created in this manner I connect to a person who kept his own peace, and it reinforces my desire to not follow along with the rest of the sheep.

Gracias Don, and so loose proof reading went MIA! Yes Lee, I did, thanks for the pointer. Charles views on many things might not have always sat easily but could not be denied. He wrote insightfully and expressively even when deflating alter egos. The 'peace' referred to means exactly what you suggest.
