dark alley
The alley dark
With dim glow of the lights
The beggar walks
It's his only home
The authority can't catch him
The way of his life he lives
Amongst the ghosts of his past
When he was young.......
The youth of yesterday
How life had changed!
When he was there
The sun and moon always shine
Then the dark clouds
He hadn't prepared
Industrial accident he met
The compensation didn't last long
He was out in job market
He couldn't make the day
Abandoned by family
Forgotten by friends
Now in his twilight years
He struggles on the streets
Begging alms to stay alive
Of youth once he was
He forgot to plan
When young was the light
Then the dark clouds came
He was out of his prime
