The Rickety Old Man

In a lonely shack
Deserted from life
Lives the like of a shaken being
In tattered attire

Existing lone in his peasant apartment
Where all colours are drained
In his eyes lay unforgiving regrets
Crossed by crude roads

His numbered age are laid wasted
In unfruitful chants of youthful exuberance
When he had the strength of a lion
But fed from the plates of a badger

On his weakened skull
The little strands of sickly hair
In dirty attired
Laid in lazy lines
Taunting his bookless libraries

In clear misery
He recalled his rodent ridden notes
Where he could have marked the silver line
But lost to his ignorant mind

A walking disgrace
To white hairs and age
He lives in a beggar's troth
Inclined to his own mess.
