Man in the Train Station

There is no satiation

for the man who begs in the train station.

He only wanted a short vacation,

but now he\'s high on the medication

and has lost his drive to the nation.

 

Now he can\'t break his fixation

on the thing that\'s the imitation

of the joy from liberation

that he\'ll never get from exploitation

or the momentarily pleasing sensation.

 

He banks all his accusations

on his friends and false information

and insists there\'s no correlation

between his health and exultation.

Every morning is a new libation.

 

His drug furthers his damnation

and says there\'s no negotiation

for he is but a fly to creation.

There is no satiation

for the man who begs in the train station.
