Once I Saw A Man

Once I saw a man

"Are you for me?" I asked

"Not for you," he growled,

Staring darkly

"For me."



Once I saw a man

"Are you for me ?" I asked

"I'm for self," he rumbled

Leering starkly

At me.



Once I saw a man

"It's you at last!" I cried

"Damn yer ugly hide", he snarled

"What do you know

Of me?"



Once I saw a man

I turned away from him

Compassion entered in

He came and stood

By me.
