Eluding

There is a man

Named Mojo Polk

Who seemed to scare

All the town folk,

His demeanor was quite eluding

But he COULD NOT care

Due to his needs

From the local store

He had to walk the streets

While everybody stared,

Nothing of him, they knew

But had an idea

And judged him

So stones they threw

All the while he's done nothing wrong

Well, except maybe say a BOO or two,

He would buy a lot of groceries

And hold them, barely

When the groceries fell

From the bags

A woman appeared out of nowhere

Her name was Nada

She attempted to tell the town folk

To stop treating this man the way they did

But they all laughed

While she helped him

And she said to all of them

"A time will come, be it day or night,

 when you can't find a cure

For you ailments

And you will be knocking on this man's door,"

She helped him carry

Because she knew the town folk

Did not care for him

So she reached out

And lent a helping hand

Doing what they have never done

In all his years

Not wanting to approach this gentleman

Due to their own fears,

Yet she had no problems

For she could read his thoughts

How he truly felt

An outcast

Such sadness

And he and she

Were all alone

Empty inside

Maybe that's why

Something drew her to him

She didn't think twice

To help such a gentleman,

And quickly felt

His frail but gentle soul

And before she left,

He reached for her hand

"I bless you for the wondrous rescue"

Acting like neither one had a clue

Of what they were capable to do...

They could both read each others thoughts...

And before too long

Seems her words came true

A child came knocking at his door,

Saying he needed some medicine

To heal his mother

Nada appeared not to long after

And on the way she picked some herbs

Even those these people

Thought him and her to be evil

To be damned

This woman in need of their concoctions

To free her from pain

Neither one could turn their back

Upon these folks that mad fun of them

But they just couldn't drawback,

Due to their nature

They had more respect

Towards the town folk

Who always made fun or afraid 

Of Mojo Polk,

Maybe this wold make a change

And lead the town folk to understand

What Mojo and Nada held within

For times like these

When the mother is able

No matter how early

Nor how late

To Mojo and Nada at all times

They will be there to ease others of their

Aches and pains.

This is such a wonderful story of compassion and devotion. I always take note to myself that there will always be someone out there who truly cares for a person and together, are meant to be happy. Even though the world outside is cruel, there will be a light that will help us stand up to these shameful people. A truly wonderful tale full of lessons. Thanks for sharing!
