Most Hated

Jim had a way of making people hate him

It never took armed robbery or viscous attacks

He could just live out his dreams and mind his own business

Hunted down by a local gang
Disrespected by do gooders
He was cursed by a coven

Yet no one could erase his smile

Still he always kept a loaded gun just in case
