Ragged Man

What be thou there oh ragged man

torn soul be thus unkempt

thy garments tattered torn “pon thee

with beaten life's contempt


And thus thou bare without within

Thine cart most gathered full

of wretched things collected thee

from travels pushed and pulled


The coverings that mask and hide

the worth thou hast forsook

the path of rotten choices made

the route thou couldst have took


Thy faith didst long depart from thee

none trustworthy or true

for all have thus forsaken thee

and bid thee curst adieu


No hope from eyes of forlorn gaze

no gain upon thy quest

thy feelings dashed with disappoint

twill never give thee rest


And love the everlasting good

to thee won't rise nor reign

thine eyes bowed down with bended brow

despair's become thy chain
