A man undone

A man undone

He sits and looks out of the window,
He knows he’s never felt so much sorrow,
The uncertainty that calls itself tomorrow,
Chill his spine down to the marrow.

Yesterday he had everything,
Yesterday he could hear glorious angels sing,
Yet today he has nothing,
Today he bears all that hell has to bring.

First he lost the car then the wife,
The love of his life,
Then the house went to his wife,
Then the job disappeared caused by all this strife.

The friends went with the money,
Flocking to some new found honey,
Family too seemed to follow the money,
And colleagues found his demise funny.

People always say it could be worse,
Perhaps you could be in a hearse,
But maybe life is the curse,
And death could be the close to this verse.
