The Elephant Man

Just a boy of three Oblique to be Skeletal grow Enraging flow Proteus syndrome Humbled him Captured hearts Applauded him so Royalty he got to know Elephant man he came to be Youthful not like you and me Mistreated and hurt Exposed and shown Ridiculed in public Robbed and disowned In his final years Condition takes Karma " In memory of a poor soul " http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life.php

A magnificent tribute to "The Elephant Man," James. I saw the movie and this boy did capture my heart. It's a pity people cannot always look beyond what's on the outside. Surely, the karma he created earned him a special place in heaven. Love, Carolyn
