Worth of a Man
I sit upon a cardboard throne
And wear a knitted crown
No cash to buy my food and drink
No place I call my home
Unseen I pass amongst you
Just a shadow on the floor
An obstruction in your road
I'm Not a person , just a lost soul
Do you worry where I sleep tonight
Do you wonder how I eat
Do you wonder how cold It will be tonight
Or if, I will last the night
Am I measured by my wallet
Or the goodness in my heart
Am I measured by my suit of cloths
Or the goodness that’s inside
