Not Invincible

He is a poor man
Who makes poor choices 
But he has rich taste
And that is his poison 

He's not an honest man
He'll lie straight through his teeth 
Convincing he will sound
Have you ready to believe

He is a greedy man
Who thinks is it is tough
He has all that he needs
Though nothing  is ever enough

He is a lonely man
Who lives in solitude 
Pushing everyone away
Due to his bad attitude 

He is an angry man
With a very short fuse 
He plays mean jokes
Just to feel the amuse 

He is an ornery man
Won't take no for an answer
He is persistent as hell
Like a really bad cancer

But his is only a man
Nothing more to his nature
He is as fragile as us
Even when he is angered

He is a withered old man 
Stubborn with fight
He struggles these days
Body weak from his life

His a normal man
He is not invisible 
His time will come 
He is not invincible
