Black sheep and others

 

The black sheep is sometimes the only one telling the truth

Go deeper and unearth why a gentle man was uncouth

Don’t judge people by the color of their actions and inactions

Sometimes you may be startled by their simple revelations

 

The herd gets heard so easily offbeat is often unspoken

Herds that trample compassions leave the odd ones broken

Don’t evaluate people by the veneers of their façade

Sometimes you may never notice each fragmented shard

 

The one who chooses to be different has courage beyond compare

Comparing him with the rest of the flock would only be unfair

Don’t estimate people by the worth of their wealth and muscle

Sometimes you may misjudge real people left behind in the tussle

 

Nonconformity has foundations much profounder that you think

Empathy instead of logic may lead you to a different link

Don’t appraise people by what stand they choose to take

Sometimes you may grasp an added perspective in its wake

 

Unconventional is often confused with idiosyncrasy

Free spirited individuals don’t always understand diplomacy

Don’t measure people by how agreeable they are

Genuineness must be treasured more than sycophancy by far
