A heart that thief had?
The murderer was a human?
The child abuser once a child?
The wife assaulter has some part of heart in him?
There is beauty within
It lies deep within
Us all
We can look at someone in the eyes
See a forest of wonder before us
A cascade of delight and beauty
But, that person could be hiding
Hiding something deep
We know not the secrets that lie below
But obvious
To hate or despise
A transgressor
A bastard of crime
A time laggard
Someone who is low
But look!
Do please look
A bit deeper lies the truth
All of us hold close
A dose of decency
So don't hold people back
Just cos they appear to be tacks
These folks are all of us
We are them
Defaulters us all
None of us entirely pure
Do look a bit closer
And you will see clearer
The dear dear hearts we all possess
So don't go throwin' a hand full of rocks
Don't fire that gun in anger
Blast that person in quick judgement
We all have the fault
A human one
We were built to the hilt
With these in our souls
To know that one is all
And all is one
Is the best we can do
To lead our lives true
So don't go hatin'
Or miseratin'
Go forth and love and understand
That no man is perfect
Perfection is no man
We are all bits of the whole
And that is crucial to know
