The Stories

I wonder how many people dislike me And not from what they see, They dislike me from what they have heard And how my name is slurred. They say that I am a cheater and also a liar And that I boast and I brag and I conspire, And I abuse and I steal they might say Oh yes, and I never do pray. I don't ever help the poor or the needy And I am tight and I am also very greedy, And they say that I am very bad to the bone That is why they say I am all alone. Now, I am gossiped about and ignored and shunned And truthfully and sadly I am stunned, They are ready to curse me and send me to purgatory Because, they didn't hear my side of the story. Randy L.
