An Outsider

A handsome looking young man well built and tall and lean He always looks well dressed and clean By young single women the most sought after young single man of the town Their eyes follow him as the flags of the street he walks up and down But their curiosity with their amorous thoughts blend Why he does not seem to have a girlfriend He always is only seen on his own And so little about him is known The local macho fellows do say About him he has an effeminate way That he has never been seen to kick a football And he does not show any interest on sport at all That due to community disapproval and family pride His sexual preference in his closet he hide So judgemental in their small way Yet they cannot say if he is or is not gay Perhaps he should leave to live elsewhere In some bigger town in the World out there Where his would be a stranger's face And he would not feel so out of place It can be said of those who are different that they are not the most loved in any town So many judgemental tribal people only too willing in words to put them down That many local young women admire him does not at all suit them well And of him they have their own stories and many lies for to tell.
