the old man cries


The old man cries
On his walk by the street
Struggling to get his day
Discharged from hospital
His family dumped him

The heart surgery
It was a success
Years he should take his medicines
On his walk he reflects
No money what will he do?

Tears falling
The sun hot biting his skin
The days of his life
He should have died

Now in old age
Recovering heart patient
With no work and shelter
How long will he live?

Friends provides temporary shelters
The old man is grateful yet it saddens him
The punishment comes in sweet and severe
Maybe of things he had done when he was young

Finally he is sheltered
In the welfare home of the aged
Maybe he thinks he deserves it
Of his family he better forgets
When he looks up to the sky
“Life a circle
Don't think you can escape
Be kind to others
When old age arrives
You will not feel bad”

about a son put his old man on the street
always arguing with his ex wife
