Poem

There once was a man..

Who lived a bad life
He tried to be godly
And ended in strife.
For it wasn't his actions that made it so wrong
But that he knew deep down, he knew all along.
He prayed for direction
He prayed for new hope
But his soul was too damaged
And he took too much dope.
The people he trusted
Promised all would be well,
If he kept humble means
To steer clear of hell.
He never overtly
Did anything mean,
He sinned and then promised
To keep his soul clean.
He married a girl
After the first one had failed.
And promised his God,
That ship has sailed.
But God in His wisdom
Thought the lesson was right,
So He kept him in darkness
Away from His light.
He followed his passions
His follies weren't pure,
He asked his known God
If he had been cured.
But he read the whole Bible
And asked for a sign,
And found that his reason
Was muddled in wine.
For what no one told him,
And this was the key,
Is that no one was working
As hard as was he.
The people around him
Hadn't a clue,
That we're here to be kind
We're here to be true.
So women and men
And paupers and kings
All plotted tricks
And selfishness things.
Love was a thought
For poets and priests
And not for the common man
Sweating the sheets.
He would not see
As long as he breathed
That suicide came 
From his heart on his sleeve.
Refusing to lose
He crafted his time
That would point him to heaven
Or just put him in line 
But God was quite clear,
From the time of the Christ
That there was but one savior,
That paid that one price.
So years ran behind him
Sin covered with soot
From the top of his head
To the pad of of his foot.
Never quite learning that
God had his back
He lived a sad life
Of wanting and lack.
This story rings true
Over all the miles
Decades of hurt
For the want of a smile.
