Tony
No one cried
Not one soul sighed
No one knew
He even died
All went their way
Just passing by
Afraid to stay
Not asking why
And when his body finally failed
His skin turned cold
Face just paled
He was but just another soul
No one would know
No bells would toll
Now just forgotten
A twist of fate
They wheeled him out
A sorry state
All is over
The poor man's dead
The aides come in
And make the bed
Another soul will soon be there
Dependent on a nurse's care
So who'll be next
In fragile state
To meet the same
Dark lonely fate
