Cast upon him a burden              
a wicked curse              
born under the wrong agenda              
what could be worse?              
             
Life's value lost and hollow          
burned out           
can anybody hear you?              
There's no way out!              
             
Trapped in a hell from which              
there is no escape         
for being born on the wrong              
side of the moon              
life is cruel, look at his face              
             
             
His beauty untouched              
eyes having seen too much              
out of tune out of touch…             
             
I can't even begin to imagine              
the human suffering where you are              
 
no laughter only sorrow             
no hugs or good night kisses              
no hope for tomorrow…              
             
Does anybody know what happened              
to the flowers where you are—              
or the will to live, not just survive             
live, die, eat, sex and cry              
             
He'll be leaving soon              
wearing his pride on his chest              
singing his favorite tune              
dressed in his Sunday best!              
             
Yes, he'll be humming his favorite song              
long after he's gone              
knowing his dream is now reality,              
left behind a life of psychosis banality.
