Sundays suit was never intended for this
Just too proud to beg for a life of this
Cotton jacket and toning trousers his facade
Hollow dignity concreted in a blind charade
Breathing the debris of others in a solitary parade
The heat blurring the world before his eyes
As this broken man shields his own view in a disguise

The searing sun purloins the fluid from his body
Not unlike the way he dines at the banquet of nobody
Carelessly consuming what others have left
Ambling unseen in a land of greed and flaunting theft
Hiding in Sundays suit on Monday morning
As his torn feet settle upon on soil of wealth
This poor man be endlessly crawling
