Don't Make A Wrong Move Poem by The Original Tom Maxwell

You can be a perfect person, the most caring one alive,
even if your not sure, you'll give an effort and try.

You will help any stranger, on a dark night, or sunny day,
never show any selfish greed, and smile to everyone, who passes your way.

Others don't care about the good deeds, that you do,
just make one wrong mistake, and they put a brand, on you.

Everyone likes to gossip, only about the news, that is bad,
they forget about your good deeds, and make sure you are had.

Nobody's perfect, we all make some bad moves,
some get off easy, others have to pay their dues.

We are all in so many records, they are checked by many everyday,
Almost all tell about our troubled times, and nothing good to say.

You have to prove your innocent, because your assumed guilty all the way,
it's a shame the way the world is, trust has drifted away.

I don't agree with it, there is nothing, I can do or say,
as the old world keeps spinning, we need to look for answers in every way.
