Gone To The Wall

Leant down in a daze

Pictures in my face

Reflections deep inside me

send shivers down my spine, to guide me...

A woman, not alone

Blushingly stripped to the bone

Now i see, i never Knew

She always looked askew

All this seems to be delusion

It must have been an odd illusion

All this feeds my inner urge to go

I know, it's glowing deep inside me

This show, the mindless thrall

I know, your grinning might misguide me

I know the weakest goes to the wall

Leant down in shame

An older man, so lame

Shivering, full of wine

By the shore line

Stream's fast, don't fight

At last, release the plight

It's clear, without a strife

I see my own life

Flint, struck, gives no spark at all

Women, touched, give no warmth for all

A child, lost, has gone to the wall
