In the Dark Stands a Man

From East to West the night was very dark,

And in the dark stood a motionless mark,

The neighbor’s dog hesitated not to bark,

For in the dark stood a foreign mark

Oh no he is an inexperienced night runner,

The youngest son of village the charcoal burner,

For he know not the how and the manner,

Don’t ask me why for I can't even mummer.

In the dark stood a man fully naked,

A perfect indication of how they are waked,

Despite this to some they are more than loved,

But not to me for I abhors this act.

To and fro they run and run,

Stealthily and quietly for they believe in yes we can,

With no celebrations of a race greatly won,

And this is why they are troublesome men.

  

That man in the dark is a member of the society,

The movement of the dogs does not affect his anxiety,

For they claim knowledge of the topography is a necessity,

And that man in the dark is confirming the reality.

That man in the dark is not yet a father,

Neither does he know the love of a mother,

For twenty years they haven't seen one another,

But that man in the dark is more than a bother.
