Ode To the Other Guy

this is the third angle,
of a dreaded triangle.
nobody cares about this guy,
nobody cares to verify
to see what happened to him
why is his existence so dim
he never gets the girl he already had,
nobody cares if hes sad,
cos his presence only messes the story
he is a dead deal's signatory
no hes done no crime
hes at the wrong place at the wrong time

this is an ode to my other guy,
i often wonder why,
why did it happen to him,
thinking about it makes me grim.
but there is no one to blame,
and its going to remain the same.
all he did was right,
but he never even got a chance to fight.
but there is no use thinking about it
cos its over and that's it

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
