Like a Ghost

I'm just a ghost in this place,
made of flesh and bone
though I have a friendly face
I still feel so alone.

I walk by people every day,
but rarely do they see
beyond the flaws and race of skin
the things that make me, me...

But people unfairly judge,
they don't try to understand
but a rainbow never does
the colors unite strand by strand.

Nature works hand in hand,
when people rarely  do
it's time you start to understand
buy yourself a clue.

I have never understood loneliness; why waste time being polite to people who are not attracted to you, when that interruption could prevent someone who was attracted to you from making contact? Believe in pheromones and let nature take its course! Aloha! Rico
