On the Respectrum



Put some respect on my name-
Im not asking you to prefix it with Dame,
But be less conspicuous in your attempts to
bring it shame;
Painting me black to shift the blame.
You took my mind to that place-
That dark dungeon of disgrace,
And now from those shackles of shock and
horror I'Il break free,
Unblock my stunted energy.
Autism actualised auteurs,
Run from authority figures-
But their masterpieces of misplaced
malevolence,
Make their silent soul work immortal in
relevance.
