What's in a Name...

Do you see me at all
do you think you know who i am?
Look but don't listen
and you will never understand
Surely  there is more to you than this;
physicality fades, like the taste of a kiss
Just as i am the sum of my words and deeds
all bottled within this flawed man,
you must look to how you present yourself
Show some self respect,
try to be in command of your base instincts
for that is all that distinguishes us
from pigs wallowing in the mud
from leeches sucking on blood
For many years i have withstood
but now i say,
this i can live without;
as if the physical is what life is all about
When you think you understand
what i have said
let me know, give me a shout
for i may be many things
and i have played many roles
but i will not play the lout...
