The Innocent Mafioso!

With a spine of steel I walked down the lane, The mortals lacked the pluck to cross me in disdain! To the trader i quizzed, Buddy, 'Hows Business?' Mum was the trader With his lungs in distress! Flummoxed was my mind, To see the traders dread! His Action made me wonder "Did i ask him for his head?" Shivering were the dames, When i heard'em mumble! He's the mafia who bashed, the goons till they crumble! Zapping in my mind were scenes, when i beat the ugly teens! N now i knew the reason why, No one dared to cross me by! Convicted- Guilty was I in the people's dumb court. Outcast was the name and seclusion what i got! I tried to mix with people, I tried to make'em laugh. But in a world of hoax faiths, My feelings were so dwarf! As the winter came in the birds set sail. My comments lost worth, My gags were old n stale! As the trees dried I failed to create dread, Humans took me for granted in my brawl for bread! The drive-in was to glow, when i came for rum! Ignored by the crowd, I felt like a bootless bum! Smothered by this Scene, I walked home in despair. Baffled by the Question "Why these jerks don't care?" TO BE CONTINUED................
