Here's a bold old man <br />He's trying to recapture <br />The faded years of his youth <br />But his every effort is in vain <br />For years he has suffered from sporadic <br />Attacks of duodenitis and gastritis <br />He gets no medical attention <br />It's sad and we the children who <br />Visit him in his lonely house don't <br />Know what to do <br />Does anybody care? <br />And some professors of the ghetto have <br />Arrived and they have misdiagnosed him <br />And they have pronounced the death <br />Sentence on him and they have said he will <br />Get the dyspepsia virulent infection and die <br />Unless he cuts all ties with the devil he <br />Meets at the crossroads who teaches him <br />To be a wizard with the guitar <br />Did anybody mention the guitar? <br />Beware you don't go out in the night alone <br />It's a sad situation to be confronted by <br />A black man and his mentor the devil because <br />The eerie blues will pounce on you<br /><br />BrokenHeartPheko Motaung<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sad-poems-does-anybody-care/
