Agbero: The Social Outcast Who’s Hated And Despised.

Agbero.

The social outcast who’s hated and despised. Despised by the class of people whose outward appearances are classy but within, they nurse the vilest things imaginable.

But I’ve seen more humanity in these social outcasts than in these seemingly classy people Who adorn beautiful attires and speak polished English, but are still inhuman.

I’ve seen an agbero help school children cross the roads, same roads that classy people who are in their cars speed past zebra crossing lines. Without a care in the world.

I’ve seen an agbero in a pharmacy, rough and smelly, but crying profusely because his son broke his skull and needed a few stitches to stop the bleeding. He was inconsolable. His life doesn’t end at the park. An agbero could be a doting dad. And a kind husband. A good family man. I’ve seen a few.

An agbero. Rough around the edges, with enough fight marks, puckered face, but calmly giving you the direction to an address you lost your way to. An agbero.

There’s humanity in unlikely places. And I’ve seen more than a few. There are mad men with more serenity than those who claim to have it all figured out.

Same world where priests are mindlessly evil, there are sinners who are pure in heart. And I learn everyday not to listen to sundry things about life. I’d much rather feel the soul of those who aren’t so polished, but are authentic than be friends with those who are all over the place with their sermons of good humanity but do the work of the devil free of charge.

Beauty is not what people look like. Beauty is what people feel. And expressions aren’t just words. Expressions are the the effects of the life you live on those that may not say thank you, but would go on their way to beautify the world they know because you were kind to them.

But never be inspired to be kind only where you’d be praised, nor only to people that look like you. Life is more than that. Those who are rough around the edges may well be the only ones whose intentions are pure!
