We are always misunderstood

    Satya Gabriel

    We are always misunderstood
    whether in life or in death
    and nothing can be done
    that will not be misunderstood
    by someone
    at sometime
    or everytime
    you speak or otherwise
    act
    which is life
    and politics
    and culture
    and the art
    of living.

    Living is to be
    misunderstood.

    Words are to be
    misconstrued,
    as is
    silence.

    So
    pull back the covers
    and get out of bed
    and stop whining
    about being
    misunderstood.
