Even In The Worst Of People Poem by Francis Duggan

Even in the worst of people some good you will find
'Tis just that some darkness has entered their mind
And to empathy and compassion they somehow seem blind
And they seem to forget how it feels to be kind
Somewhere in their lives they lost their god within
Yet very few people who are not guilty of sin
I have yet to meet one completely free of taint
There are six billion sinners for every one saint
Oh you without sin standing there all alone
Step into the stoning ground and cast the first stone
Yet the offer of casting the first stone you refuse
Since others you never do wish to abuse
Yet even the worst person of goodness not bereft
There is one tiny seed of humanity in the darkest soul left.
