Mam Tu Veda Na Kascana

But Me no one knows
While I sit here wrapped in this flesh
I call to your attention my nakedness
Standing tall, I take off my shawl and before you I stand, I stand to you all.
Mam tu veda na kascana
I show my skin, my balls, my cock, I show you tattoos on my back, arms and my neck,
I show you my soul and how it has been totally wrecked.
I show you my growing hairy silvery hairy chest.
I show you my slender body malnutrition and all
I show you my nakedness in a slimy stall-
Mam tu veda na kascana
You think you know me as I am,
I tell you I am just a simple man,
No great gifts to impart, but what sits here is a wondrous heart,
I say this right from the start no matter how wrong the lust is its strong,
I desire to quench this unruly fire, I will not tire from the inevitable fire the need is dire-
I will not retire-
Mam tu veda na kascana
But Me no one knows
You see right through this old and graying soul
And still you see the me no one knows-
Mam tu veda na kascana
And alas –
But Me no one knows-vedaham samatitani
vartamanani carjuna
bhavisyani ca bhutani
mam tu veda na kascana
“O Arjuna, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, I know everything that has happened in the past, all that is happening in the present, and all things that are yet to come. I also know all living entities; but Me no one knows.” *

But Me no one knows as I age and grow old
Love for me has been cold, and therefore I am breaking out of the mold, this desire in me I no longer withhold. I boldly go to find the love I’ve never known, to finally take hold and call it my own.
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti….Om Shanti Shanti Shanti. I find release from my delusional disease.

In this poem you talk about how you are showing others parts of you, and I think the most important part is when you say you are showing your soul, because it takes great courage to show people who we truly are, and if you can do that in life, that's great.
