A Prisoner In This Forlorn World

 

And so begins the dearth of an illustrious soul

And the presence that makes others whole

So he’s complained of a wretched growth

But his heart is still up to his throat

Because he’s a prisoner in this forlorn world

 

She made him think he was the bee’s knees

And his ego grew like a forest of trees

Hey, look he’s glad he called him the fox’s socks

But there was a part of him he always knew that sucks

Because he’s a prisoner in this forlorn world

 

The man remains a lone ranger

Among his friends he remains a stranger

Brainy, smartie, in his absence no party

They were all skills from his friends who were crafty

Because he’s a prisoner in this forlorn world

 

He’s died a thousand deaths

And lost a million bets

His rhythm hasn’t been paused

But he feels he’s bitten the dust

Because he’s a prisoner in this forlorn world
