He Walks Amoung Us

HE WALKS AMOUNG US
(with evil on his mind)


He walks among us, without us being aware.
Of the unimaginable atrocities that he dares.
Spawned by greed and self worth, that is shown.
He takes from others, believes everything is his own.

As a child he was neglected, derived he had no worth.
Fought for his survival all the way from birth.
His mother conceived him on one of her drunken nights.
His father raped his mother, then fled out of sight.

We want to hate him he has no purpose in our world.
But he deserves our pity when his story in unfurled.
This tragedy didn't have to happen and it's plain to see.
That this poor anomaly could have been you or me.
