The Most Hated Man

In a home inside a farm,
There's a man who lives alone,
Shunned by everyone 
For trying to stand for his own color once. 

Thunders and lightnings, 
Even the gods and the wind
Conspire to extinguish his flame everyday.
Lashes from every direction are thrown towards him
From armies of trolls and orcs. 

Even the wind's own ears bleed from venomous songs 
Sang against him with empty lyrics out of desperation. 
And the mere fact that he's just alone makes him 
As brave as the bravest man ever lived.
