Ubiquitous Man

a false man, a true man
a crooked man's strife
a litany of sins, as long as his life

a young man, an old man
a man for all times
a scale that will measure much more than his crimes

a thin man, a fat man
a man as he's made
a price not to bargain, but simply be paid 

a cold man, a warm man
a gentle man's fate
a changing for better, before it's too late

a strong man, a weak man
a just man at last
a chance now to live life, not ruing the past

a live man, a dead man
a peaceful man rests
a time to reflect on his worsts and his bests

a rare man, a common man
ubiquitous man
a time to come home now, to where he began
