Unwelcomed

They’re just like us. 
Just trying to survive, 
in this crazy 
brutal world. 
Supplying,
for themselves, 
and for their families. 
Are they really that bad? 
A bad reputation,
isn’t always true. 
Really,
they’re just like me and you. 
They are trying their best,
in a world where it’s decided,
that they are bad.
Acceptance, 
a hug?
Those are things they’ve never had.
The world tells them they’re bad.
They are punished for it even if they’re good,
so why not be bad.
Really,
they wanted to be good, 
but nobody allowed it.
They were pushed away,
exiled  from everyone and everything.
Are these villains, really villains?
Or hero’s unwelcomed by the world.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Too many people are focused on what makes a different and not enough focused on what we have in common . . .Aloha!
