My Tribute to Hellboy

Rewatched Hellboy recently again and remembered how much I felt for him after the show. Attached hereby is the poem I composed for Hellboy after I watched the movie for the first time:

Red-skinned, enormous, with two big horns,
Hellboy's been like this since he was born;
Rejected, outcasted and spat upon,
Though the world knows he does no wrong.
With a foul temper, he curses and drinks,
Yet battles Evil without a blink;
But grievely the world refuses to link,
His appearance to his every good deed.
Such is the world-Superficial, Judgemental,
Never thank him with a silver medal;
Instead, they throw at him broken bottles,
Smear at him with wax from candles.

'World, hold on' like Bob Sinclair sings,
Throw your judgement straight into the bin;
If a person's looks means everything,
Ask Tom Cruise to keep you safe in your dreams!
Just because a person is different,
Doesn't mean he's society's burden;
Don't let your opinions be someone's hurdles
To be himself..so please don't murder!
