I once knew a man,
Who lived with much shame,
Crippled by his surroundings,
Embarassed by his own name.
He had it all if all is nothing,
But he gave his soul to everyone,
His friends betrayed him and sold him out,
Yet his door was open to anyone.
He lost faith in the lord supposed,
A god he said did not exist,
To each his own he abided by,
Living boundlessly he did insist.
A life of mishaps he was said to lead,
And the straight and narrow he did not walk,
His family was of no solice,
And not a soul existed to whom he would talk.
Seemingly his life stood still,
Shape and meaning it did not take,
His body and mind nothing but a shell,
Every thought and smile were simply fake.
It is said all lives have ups and downs,
But for him this was not the case,
A simple man, With no way out,
He goes unnoticed even to this day.
I once knew a man,
Who couldn't figure life out,
And now he's gone forever,
A man this world can do without.
