Never Judge! Poem by Basim Alansari

A kid once walked in an alleyway
Alone he feared even his shadow
Early hour before break of the day
Escaped through orphanage's window
...
He saw a man wondering around
He didn't seem to be nice or kind
He grabbed the boy, threw him to the ground
He rambled and seemed not in right mind
...
"I'm sure this man is a mean villain"
The boy was scared and rushing his thoughts
"His heart seems like a watermelon
Red inside but with many dark dots"
...
Suddenly a dog started to bark
The same man pulled the boy up shouting
"They're here! Boy! Quickly run to the park"
His mysterious words kept sprouting
...
The boy rushed fast to the nearest hill
He looked back to see the old man fight
A gang seemed to have broke out of hell
The strange man was using all his might
...
Finally sun drove them all away
The boy was shocked, puzzled and in doubt
Returned to orphanage in dismay
Gave up on the escape plans he sought
...
Later he read in the evening news
That a hero has saved his hometown
He was stunned and looked at his own bruise
Regretted looking upon him down
...
This story's morale simply presents
A lesson why we should never judge
Others by their looks, words or presents
Also one should never hold a grudge
