The Southern Vagrant
Awoken by vague voices and gunshots echoing within his delusional torment
 His name, his past, his tongue that spoke of many lies he shall eternally resent
 His sinful soul unworthy of any affection, he expects no sympathy in this Godforsaken place
 Love; no more or less than a word he simply can not comprehend, until he gazed upon her face
 Pitied by the greater good and defeated by the world’s very existence
 Underestimated and confounded by them all
 To be weakened has always been his resistance
 They’ll live together but he knows he will die alone
 It is every man for himself, the only way he will survive
 His southern drawl and smart a** façade is the only way he’s ever known
 A letter folded in his back pocket; anger is what the words upon the page were derived
 His prize possession is a good ol’ pack of cigarettes
 If this is hell then he’s being punished just like the rest
 But somehow boarding that plane was not one of his regrets
