The Man and a Society

He is a genius, yes he really is,

But one terrible mistake made his world unstable,

From then on the society started turning its back, killing his peace,

Alas! It didn’t and doesn’t realise how brilliant he is, how capable!    

 

The society like Willy Loman can see his past clearly enough,

Ironically turning into an iconophobe, an enemy,

Making life for him hard and tough,

Why the hell can’t it rather help him to get out of the turbulent sea?      

 

The world shall in his honour bow,

This is the dream that he wants others to feel, to know.

One mistake destroyed the

One mistake destroyed the faith.

Society left him in the wake.

We don't know what he had done.

But I have a feeling that I do know.

It's not his fault, his mind is split.

He didn't know that he would slip.

Folks just turned his back on him.

For what he did is considered sin.

 
(I don't know where this came from but your poem inspired the words.)
