I'm not into poetry, so I didn't bother to follow the link when I first saw this post. However, after seeing you guys put so much effort into it, I followed up on it.
I find some of the generalizations on the page somewhat offensive. In particular:
Quote:
People of this world:
I have one question for you and one alone,
How does it feel to be a puppet?
Everyone around you just as clueless as you are,
A pitiful lemming that will do anything to be accepted.

I am not normally offended by broad generalizations, but this one in particular got to me because we see the author using it to distinguish himself as a better person - yet further on down the page, we see him succumb to the contrary:
Quote:
I am very cautious in my decisions in life,
I stand up for what I believe and will not deter,
But the unfortunate truth is,
No one really understands who I am,
Nor why I became this way

Why is he so interested in being accepted, yet condemns those that share the interest?
