Alex was one nincompoop with a lot of hubris

His unchallenged ego was ruined in debris

Vagabonds from around the world adored his wit

Until he ascended into Heavens and God ordered him to sit

Vagabonds, of course, homeless people they are

The denizens, the natives of earth who walk too far

Reminisces Alex about good times in Carthage

As words he writes fly by as his life nears a stoppage

His will to return back to the world was pending

Until God rejected the offer and sent him to the ending

Cryptic were the words he wrote in his diary

No mere mortal was able to understand his inquiry

His solitary days were long over by now

The joy of being alone was disturbed by a cow

An intangible suffering of the mind emits

From the fire underneath that burns him into bits

Gaunt were his elbows, his bones visible through

His legs thin and long, his face a sickly blue

He may have evaded some phony people’s agreement,

But he could not escape the wrath of divine judgment,

If you ask him how it feels, he’d say it’s claustrophobic

The walls closing in on him, the utterances of a homophobic

The vermin gnaw eerily at his feet, tearing pieces of flesh out

Still no one knows what the suffering was about

He orchestrated all of his plans rather meticulously

Only ending up wishing to be saved deviously

Wishing only to lead a life that is recluse

Hiding from everyone for your joys is no excuse

His polarization from the family that raised him

Led to a split that eventually razed him

His demise was not an honorable one indeed

As he cried for help, ruined by his own greed

His flamboyant personality is now long gone

He cannot play the piano, nor can he imitate Don Juan

Complains he about his posthumous legacy

As after death, all that lives on is his hypocrisy...
