As I rub my hands together
Trying to stay warm in this cold weather
Shivering and shaking I am so very cold
This is the winter of the youth, and not the old.
...
They say that she is a gem
A diamond in the rough,
While lacking all the social graces
Which some of us embraces;
...
If you will bring me a glass of water
Just to quench my thirst
I promise you I will be forever grateful
And of your kindness, I will always think of first,
...
It will slowly creep upon your face
When you are sitting or thinking for a while
Frowns and smirks it will quickly replace
After a topic, or a moment, is not causing any bile,
...
I go to bed with both sadness and fear
Who will be the next voice that I will hear
Will it will be the gentle voice of someone I know
To greet me with a 'hi' or even a 'hello'
...
Is a man's existence worth more than a loaf of bread
To save himself from starvation so he steals to be fed
Then off to prison should he then be led
If a man cannot afford food, should he be better off dead.
...
If I could only relive my life
Just to undo the mistakes and relinquish my strife
To remove the errors that I once had done
And maybe forget something, or even someone
...
To all my friends I wish to say goodbye
As tomorrow I know not what is in store for me
That might be the day that I am meant to die
Then up in heaven, I will be with my family,
...
Of the GODs we all believe
And of men we all know
They rule us when they can’t deceive
With prayers or guns or a bow,
...
Man doesn't want to beg or rob
To support himself he needs and wants a job
And when he does, he'll do the best that he can
And truly what he does, makes himself a man,
...
