Man for Himself

by: Melissa Maharani Gading


The air was so dry 
No rain to ease the cry
Many were just waiting for time to fly by
And many getting ready to say goodbye

On the streets or on the road
People were coming with a load
They wanted food it wasn’t hard to decode
But many were disappointed and the commotion slowed

Then came two men with hope in their eyes
Ready to conquer and rise above the skies
Though none was ready with supplies

One was a fella who was quite unwise

They had come a long way
To find some work in the field that day
And then something happened they needed to get away
All at once it was all foul play

He for himself nothing in-between 
The unwise was demented it was quite a scene
He had no choice it was in his gene
There was a big bang then everything was clean

The two started of with nothing in their pockets
The two worked hard to get heavy wallets
But now only one is left with the burden

Of living a life only as a servant
