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.
