Misconceptions

He was covered in tattoos

all over his face and

neck.

And all over his hands and

arms. I could see.

He was bald.

Middle-aged and rode a

motorbike.

He had leather trousers

and a t-shirt on.

He was called Jack.

And he was a lovely guy.

Turned out he was in the army.

Retired now. And got himself

this bike.

And travels around the country.

We ended up chatting, as I dropped

something leaving a little village store

and he helped me retrieve it.

So never misjudge someone buys the

way they dress or look.

You will be surprised at how

wrong you are?

I agree my friend. Here in the USA. A large group, men and women who ride the motorcycle. They ensure Military funerals are safe from demonstrators. Appearance can be trickery. I enjoyed your tale and thank you dear Dawn for sharing your amazing words and your thoughts.

Exactly Coyote, Never judge a book by its cover. Just because someone dress not to your approval. Or have tatts. It does not mean they are bad. The Majority of time. They are great people with wonderful hearts. It works the other way around someone in a suit and well dressed could be the biggest scumbag around.

I agree. The people in suits. Most are cold-hearten. There are good people near us if we pay attention.

So true Dawn. My grandson of, 20 wears goth clothing, piercings and his hair in a variety of creative styles. Sometimes people are shocked by his appearance and yet he is the most gentle and loving soul I know. Yes, you should never judge a book by its cover.

there is such truth in this poem...i like how you presented it as a Leader of the Pack type story and yet we so often judge from the outside rather than the inside...
