Dichotomy of Old Men Part 3

Life is a long game



Hey old man … sit down and talk to this young lad

Tell me what makes you happy, glad or sad

I wanna know



Share with me your past…teach me what will last

I wanna know

I wanna know what will last

I wanna know



I wanna know the secrets of life and rise above

The mundane struggles and strife



Give me the secrets locked in your mind

Don’t let me grow old and intellectually blind

To life’s secrets, what was your purpose?



Well lad…here’s the scoop

I was doing well

Accomplished much

My house was in order

Then one day the devil came along

He sang a beautiful song

I tapped my foot to the rhythm and beat

He taught me how to lie and cheat

Soon I had nothing to eat.



I never thought it could happen to me

I lost it all…how great was my fall



I sleep in the park under the darkened sky

Begging for dollars from passers by.



The end came quick…so listen with a

A discerning ear.



Never entertain the devils song

cause if you do… he’ll do you wrong.
