Robber of the Hood

When I was just starting my adult life, first job after college with responsibility. Somehow, I took the wrong interview, or was so naive that it clouded any rational judgement I should have had regarding the company where I was going to work. The man at the top was a crook, only I was unable to see it. His Robin Hood act was just that, an act. Others tried to warn me, but what did they know? I was going to be happy, and then they would see how much their insight was wrong. So, after two years of struggling through taking from the poor to give to the rich I ended without a love, MY "ROBIN HOOD" WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A or the will to live. I was a numb, CHARLATAN, dumb, bum. Yet I was given WHO WAS a second chance at life. DETERMINED The Lord moves in TAKE TO mysterious ways. FROM THE Life, again! POOR AND Yes, Me. GIVE ONLY TO HIMSELF. FOOLISH, STILL BELIEVING IN THE MISSION THAT HE ESPOUSED, I FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY THAT THE MAN OF THIS SHERWOOD FOREST WAS LIFE'S WAY OF TELLING ME THAT I KNEW NOTHING OF THE WORLD AND THOSE WHO WOULD SEE EVERYTHING THROUGH ROSE COLORED GLASSES. I GAVE THEM MY ALL, ONLY TO HAVE IT DASHED UPON THE ROCKS OF REALITY AND TRUTH. THIS WAS THE GIFT HE GAVE TO SO MANY OF US POOR WORKERS WHO BELIEVED IN HIS EXOTIC VISIONS, BUT TAUGHT US THE TRUE MEANING...HIS BEING THE "ROBBER OF THE HOOD"!
