Quirky
Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)
Some say that I am quirky.
Some say I am bizarre.
They think my thoughts are murky
And weird the way they are.
They act as if "different"
Is just like "deviant".
They don't care how my childhood went.
Compassion they won't grant.
They do not want to understand.
All empathy is gone.
To them my values seem quite bland.
"Why won't he just move on?"
