Careless Man

He wasn't good
neither at details
nor at specifics.
He wanted others
 intrude his heart
as he  always did.
 His raised eyebrows
 were interpreted
as arrogant contempt
  for others.
He neither tried to prove anything
nor showed off.
Kept his emotions
tranquil with poise!
 "indifference and introversion" said critics.
Finding  no meaning
 in jostle around,
Found solace in contemplating 
TRUTH, GOODNESS and BEAUTY.
Some called him
 'philosopher'
 'utopian',
'idealistic',
'day-dreamer'.
He lacked common sense
when those 'silly things'
 were 'sensible' to many.
 Who understood him,
were  few;
 who misunderstood 
were many.
'The wise men' of the world
 cautioned him,
 "be careful, social, practical  
and bit diplomatic."
He didn't heed,
as he believed
 in being ORIGINAL! SPONTANEOUS!! and NATURAL!!!
He was accused
of being adamant,
 easygoing.
 Twisting his tongue
 he believed in a REALITY-
 DYNAMIC and  FLUX.
Reluctant
To force his views
on others
defining nothing categorically,
 kept his room open,
But only few got KEYS.
 Who entered, saw themselves clearly.
'Realized'  souls returned ENLIGHTENED.
 Who failed to
obtain  the keys,
remained in  darkness,
ignorant  of
 heading towards
chaos and  misery.
 Had he been more careful, 
 he would have been
AN OBLIVION IN HISTORY.
