A Man Not Named Winston
By Mark Pearce © 2007
 
 
A bit of a messiah complex at times.
A writer.
A fool.
Troubadour of love,
Venomous when confronted with deformity, propriety, or power.
 
Visionary.
Dyslexic.
A seeker
Negotiating a world of blind alleys.
A Spaniard in his own write.
 
Needy.
Confident.
Artistic.
Self-defined. Inner directed.
Cruel and loving.
 
Acerbic.
Rockin’.
Spokesman without a filter.
Too many ciggies.
Addicted to musical discovery.
 
Socially aware.
Socially disturbed.
Socially active.
Can’t let it rest.
Pain in song.
 
Abandoned.
Abandoning.
Flash anger.
Poet.
A dreamer –
 
But not the only one.

Mark,
I love the Don Quixote reference and the five line stanzas really worked for this one.
