Like Him
The central moment Of my only meaning Is the image Of a man Who went about From place to place And ended up A failure. I can never Be like Him: I haven’t got the guts To live so close To charity. But, I can have my dream To liven things up. You see— I need Him; His manliness, And courage, And kick, To give my life Its meaning!
