The Unwanted

He came to live his life in peace 
To put all his troubles at ease 
But like a garbage, he was shunned 
Almost short of being gunned 

He didn't even know why 
They even wanted him to die 
Like he did the gravest sin
Like there's a leproid on his skin 

He was scoffed and he was shamed 
It's just short of being framed 
For, just a dime, he didn't know why 
Often he looked up to ask the sky 

How he wanted to be just him 
To live simple, forget his dream 
To share with them all that he knew 
Even for free, from dust till dew

He's short of being crucified 
They thought their act was justified 
So fled, he did, like melted snow 
To look for a new place to grow 

To be a stranger in another place 
Is even better, if they respect your face 
Than live in place you call your own 
Where your people hate you to the bone

A gifted person once lived in that place but they chose to hate him for his flaws than to accept him for what he could contribute for the common good. Though, he still needs to come back to dispose of what he left in that place
