The young man was hungry,
The young man was innocent.
His clothes were very *****,
His face showed his fear.
The decisions of his past,
Left him lost to all, a ghost.
He was alone in the world,
Not a penny to his name.
He was oh so trusting,
Maybe to a fault.
He wanted to see the love,
The kindness of Humankind.
So when asked for a favor,
He instantly accepted.
The young man took the bag,
No questions were asked.
When the police came,
The truth came out.
The bag was filled with money,
***** from the botched heist.
The young man will never be the same.
As the jail cell slammed,
And he was locked in,
The young man screamed,
"Why me?"
