Lonely Old Man Poem by The Mowjo

The crowd looked on as the old man cried,
But no one knew his name.
The crowd looked on when the old man died,
And they all said what a shame.

No one heard his cries for help,
And no one heard his pleas,
His wife was gone, he was all-alone,
And it brought him to his knees.

He led a blameless life you know,
But, I guess he had had enough,
He didn’t have much money,
And things were very tough.

I think I’ll end it all today,
I really need to rest,
I think I’ll leave the world behind
I think that’s for the best.

The crowd looked on as the hearse went by,
And they all thought what a shame,
There was no one there when they buried him,
Yes, you guessed it, no one came.
