One To Be Derided Poem by Francis Duggan

One to be derided by those of the lowest form of verbal wit
And by them often laughed at but never laughed with
Sadly a few like him in every town
As targets for the ignorant yobbos for to be put down
Slightly retarded of him one might say
But quite a beautiful person in his innocent way
That some are being cruel to him he does not realize
All people good and kind in his non discerning eyes
His mind is free of corruption and taint
One may say of him he is a living saint
A person i do feel privileged to know
Since he is one who has the bright inner glow
Those who laugh at him ignorant yobbos who lack in common sense
And nothing to be said of them in their defense.
