corridors of power
are too narrow
to accommodate
my flippant insouciance
mirrors
too sarcastic
to absorb
my bloated self
libraries
too intellectual
to accept
my base wisdom
temples
too bigoted
to understand
my surrender
I float around
In search of kindred spirits
and bounce back
from hollowness of oceans

That is a template message. Actually, sharing on FB from WordPress is not allowed for free accounts. But one can copy paste the link.
