The Abacus
I know a man who thinks he can
Talk in circles and still demand
That people rise at his command
The moment he lifts up his hand
Stranger still is his ambition
One he deems a worthy mission
He proclaims that his ignition
Only turns with his permission
He walks around with head held high
And looks at no one in the eye
His body language speaks a lie
As if to say he'll never die
They claim he's always been this way
A man immune to making change
And yet he knows that come what may
He can't escape the final day
The hours pass as time rolls on
And he proceeds to move along
Convinced that he has surely won
He executes his closing con
Now he's gone
