The untrodden path

I walk the untroden path,
The loner in the crowd,
Ostracised for my beliefs,
For speaking truth too loud.

You all think I’m crazy,
I hear you calling names,
But I don’t care, and you wouldn’t too,
If you’d seen the things and know what I do.

I sit atop this mountain,
For the first time peace I know,
No other humans here,
I’d love to make this my home.

No other people,
No human contact,
No lies, no pain no bullshit,
I find the place I belong.

Yeah you call me crazy,
I climbed a mountain and saw,
Nature in it’s purest form,
The wonder of the wilderness here.

I want to leave your world behind,
And come to live here,
No lies, no pain, no crime, no war, no rape, no suffering, no poverty none of your civilised society,
Do you call me crazy cos you mean it? Or do you envy my clarity.

    Great write I loved this, it was so well written I feel that the 2nd to last line was the best, it showed the 'civilisation' for what it really was
    Keep writing and thanks for your comment
    All the best,
    Pozo
