Before labeling me a monster
for the way I live,
or some of the things
I’ve did,
learn all you can about me first.
I never claimed to have wings or a halo,
but I don’t have horns or a pointy red tail either.
I neither bleed the waters flowing from the fountain of youth,
or ether.
We all have our share of ups and downs,
and for some of us our ups are steeper,
and the downs deeper.
The difference between me and most is I was caught for my crimes and sentenced to do time while theirs were swept under the rug as “officials” turned a blind eye or covered for them with lies or had their actions minimized but however the weather,
crime is a crime.
I ain’t perfect,
never once claimed to be in any, way, shape or form, or fashion.
My soul is stained from a lot of my experiences and actions,
and the strongest detergent or bleach can’t cleanse it.
But, at least I can admit it.
So, before you condemn me to die,
and hang me on a cross to be crucified,
lay bare your soul, all your wrongs
flaws and all.
Bring your demons to the light.
let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
