" Poor " This is my home With smashed in windows And only part of a door There is no rent here cause there is no landlord Each day I walk by the well dressed people In my dirty,ripped apart t-shirt and sweatpants And to think I used to be one of them A CEO of a corporation till a downsizing occured Oh what a shame it is to be me All alone in the world But it wasn't always this way I was married and have two children But when my luck turned the wrong direction Everything fell apart She filed for divorce and took the kids with her She took all I had my home,my children,my life I haven't seen my kids now for five years And if I did see them it isn't like they would recognize me With this long,dirty hair and fuzzy gray beard It seems the world has forgotten about me Yet when I walk down the street people stare And look at me in disgust I'm trying to put my life back together But it is hard when people act like your not there It's sad to say but I wish that I was dead Cause whenever I try to pick up the peices They just fall apart around me I pray the Lord to take me on this very night To everlasting peace |
