Only An Image

A thug is only an image

An image does not stop you

What stops you is the fear

The fear that the image will become true

The truth to where someone is hurt

The hurted who will not be you

You who will regret the stereotype

The stereotype that should not exist

The existence of the victims

Victims who experience such pain

Pain created from your very image.
