He sat lounged back in the chair The sun shing into his face Almost as if he had been hit by mace Yet he didn’t care There was a point in life where he did But time took care of that So, he just sits there with his hat With nothing left to bid Even the smallest piece of paradise he still stresses He works too much to know how to live And he lives too little to give It’s his normal for life to be a mess One day his body will die For his spirit has been long gone He himself has become a pawn A crippled bird who can no longer fly

A Crippled Bird
He sat lounged back in the chair The sun shing into his face Almost as if he had been hit by mace Yet he didn’t care There was a point in life where he did But time took care of that So, he just sits there with his hat With nothing left to bid Even the smallest piece of paradise he still stresses He works too much to know how to live And he lives too little to give It’s his normal for life to be a mess One day his body will die For his spirit has been long gone He himself has become a pawn A crippled bird who can no longer fly
