The young man© Tony Fallon 042518

This evening I met a young man so sad
He felt that his family had treated him so bad
There were five siblings before and five behind
And he felt that his parents had not been so kind

While he was in the army many things he learned
And in civilian life every thing he has he earned
On all of the others life had not been so hard
Whether real or imagined this young man is scarred

He has a salary a telephone a girlfriend and a car
He lives forty miles away from his job that is far
I’m afraid this anger will continue to smolder
This young man has a chip on his shoulder

I told him until he got a better job to persevere
That maybe a bank would hire him as a cashier
For any more information I did not delve
It was time to go already it was nearly twelve
