A Man in Need

© 2016 by P Michael Biggs

What do you do with a man in need?

You could bandage his wounds so he doesn’t bleed

You could buy him a burger and let him feed

If he’s in chains he could be freed

What do you do with a man in need?

A man like him needs help, all agreed

To men like him we should pay heed

We don’t need to know all of his misdeeds

He’s a needy man, a man in need

If I could plant just one good seed

Then perhaps I have done one good deed

Where, I wonder will that good deed lead

Depends mostly upon his inner creed

Away he goes, this man in need

His dirty coat was once fine tweed

His pace is slow with not much speed

I say a prayer for this man in need
