Man of the Hour
The man of the hour;
The beast of the bed;
Incur their delusions;
From the land of the dead.
The faithful the loyal;
The ministering choir;
All morn with such sorrow;
At the pain that transpires.
The pain and regrets;
The scandalous ways;
Beliefs seeming hopeless;
The bad had its day.
Down on the corner;
Bobbing for pills;
Are the quick and the nimble;
And those who are ill.
From sun up to sun down;
And most of the night;
The hustle stays current;
They think they are right.
If you’re filled with the street;
But you know something’s wrong;
When you look to who love's you;
Do you worry they're gone?
