"Not All Men"


 

Not all men, they said,

are lurking beasts in the dark,

prowling for the next kill,

the next taste of blood and tears.

 

And it is true.

 

Not all men are murderers.

Not all men are rapists.

Not all men are guilty.

 

However, there is one more--

 

Not all men are innocent.
