Madman
Witnessed great suffering n’ grief
He stared at injustice in disbelief
He was an alien in a strange land
“He’s mad kill him” was demand
The alien was scourged, crucified
“It’s our great laws he has defied”
“Forgive them Father” he cried
After painful death was deified
With ignorant eyes they see
Myopic distortions of reality
Choose to act out abhorrently
With twisted minds in agony
If so, one day “Madman” returns
Pray…
He rectifies man’s wicked patterns
