Lunatic
Because he didn't think like them
They said he lost his mind
Because he didn't share their views
They said that he was blind
Because he made the ground his bed
They said he was a dog
Because he ate what nature fed
They threw him in a bog
Because he didn't look like them
They said he was a freak
Because he didn't smell like them
They tossed him in a creek
Because he never went to school
They said that he was dumb
Because he kept the golden rule
They said he wasn't fun
Because he would not arm himself
They beat him with a stick
Because he loved his enemies
They called him lunatic.
