Misunderstanding Your Methods Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Please...
Spare me the wide eyed sincerity.
If you were,
As you've stated...
'Championing 'MY' Cause'
Your approach to doing so,
Would involve less defamation...
Of my character.
And more of a supportive endorsement.
I would think.

You yelling, 'Off with his head! '
Whenever I appear in public...
Does not provide the right security,
I am currently needing.
Or...
That you are inspired with the right motivation.

I need to be convinced,
Your activities are actually for my benefit!
Not against it.

And...
Just perhaps,
I am just misunderstanding your methods...
And this new strategy to attract positive attention.
