Collateral Damage
"A shame indeed!" they spat bitterly full of contempt
Their eyes showed nothing but disdain
Her knees on the earth
"It was a mistake "she confessed
But they had all lent out their ears
@napheeesarh
Blindly, they did cut off all bonds
Dejected she was for she was rejected
"Our Angel "they called during the best old days
"The pride of our people! " they crowned
"Does an angel bring disappointment? " she questioned
@napheeesarh
A single error brought an abrupt halt to all the love and trust
"Ain't I human"she wept
If only one of them could take a peak at her heart
And at least give an ear to hear her own side of the story
But no, "she is a whore!"
@napheeesarh
Her heart too damaged she wandered around the earth
And brought forth another being on the streets
Pulled together her cracked soul for the sake of her son
Alone and stranded,she moved on
Still lived pure, didn't give up
@napheeesarh
So true it was when they said time hides no truth
The son of a 'whore' now rules them
Their eyes starring at nothing but the earth
If only they had known that beauty is in the heart
And imperfection is in all
