a tragedy
The human tragedy
I know of a man
And I knew him well
When coming out of hospital
Incurable cancer
He went home
Shot his father and raped his mother
Then hung himself
Two of the three deeds
Could be understood
But the rape
Could not be explained
It was a human tragedy
Of a Greek dimension
Alas, he was an ordinary man
And no play was written
I know of a man
And I knew him well
When coming out of hospital
Incurable cancer
He went home
Shot his father and raped his mother
Then hung himself
Two of the three deeds
Could be understood
But the rape
Could not be explained
It was a human tragedy
Of a Greek dimension
Alas, he was an ordinary man
And no play was written
