A Quiet Man

I must say I am shocked;

he was a decent man.

You said he killed himself?

I do not understand.

He jumped through the window?

Impossible, no way.

He was always smiling –

I saw him yesterday.

He was a quiet guy,

the one with attitude –

honest, dedicated –

the star of neighbourhood.

We used to have a drink

and we talked about life.

He said he loved his job,

his children and his wife.

The world is getting mad,

God what is going on?

One day we are neighbours,

another we are gone.

But there is one weird thing:

the other day he said

that sometimes he can hear

the voices in his head.

Police will close the case

and clean up all the mess.

Tomorrow’s a new day;

well, life goes on, I guess.
