Simple Man

Simple Man

Simple man, fighting, dying, bleeding for life he’ll never know.
Rich man, selling freedom for profit
 Simple man, paying for rich man’s pleasures.
 Rich man, spinning the hero story.
Simple man, consumed by ghost of war.
 Rich man, building charity’s to comfort the soul.
Simple man, knows no charity can erase the stench of death.
Rich man, sleeps well at night.
Simple man sleeps with the lost, if at all.
