If you don't know
how can you say
his Mother didn't die today?
and that was why he staggered by
with bloodshot eyes and face like stone.
Perhaps he has a lot to cry for
Maybe he was born that way
Possibly he has an illness
If you don't know how can you say?
Don't always draw the worst conclusions
Make your mind up in good time
Look beyond the first impressions
Be surprised at what you find.
