Boy
Take this boy
Holes in his shoes
Holes in his clothes
Hand me down rags
Greed turned this boy to man
Take this man
Gold in his hands
Diamonds in his hair
Destruction in his soul
Death turned this man to ashes
Take these ashes
Fluid on a wind
Lost without all
Nothing that will be missed
Time turned these ashes to memory
Memory of a boy
Hope reflects upon his ***** face
corruption cleans the dirt
And leaves the monster
