    "So his eyes where too red and too black underneath
    to the point that he looked like a flaw of Mother Earth"

    the last verse doesn't rhyme that well with the first verse, so maybe try something like:

    "So his eyes where too red and too black underneath
    to the point that he looked like bruised meat" ?

    "But because he would smelt like he peed on himself
    the town's people would laugh and spit on his self"

    smelt should be 'smell', smelt is the past tense, and you're speaking the present tense at the moment, also i find 'on his self' to be awkward phrasing, but it's valid, although I think it'd more appropriate to use 'hisself' versus 'his self'.

    "Then there came a sad day when the man had a dream
    that with walking bare foot he would feel bliss in gleams"

    The last verse feels a bit awkward (in terms of rhyme), maybe try 'bliss agleam' ?.

    That said, I think this piece can benefit from more punctuation. I enjoyed this piece. :)
