INOCENT MAN

Accused at such a young age, mistreated and misunderstood,
Going through alot more then a young boy should.
Caring, and talkative, sometimes came across as creepy he was told,
Would be the first one to provide shelter, for a homeless person, out in the cold.

Growing up he got accused of more and more,
Because of the first accusation he got done for.
Got a record, told that guilty, he was found,
That's when the rumours started going around.

The whispers started up followed by the talk and the glares,
Until it soon followed by threats and more stares.
People would judge by word of mouth and what they hear,
For the accused one's story, no one wanted to lend an ear.

Still kind and caring, but now when threatened, really harsh and mean,
Because of the life he was now living,
What he had seen.
He saw what most people were like in this world in which we reside,
Rude, judgemental, cruel, greedy, with in which you can't confide.

So before you make someone's life hell,
Listen to there story they have to tell.
Because what if one day you where the one accused,
You were emotionally, physically and mentally abused.

Be a decent human being and don't judge of what goes around,
Because sometimes not all is what it may sound.
And sometimes people are not what they are found!
