"There lies the resentful man,
Chastised all his life from unreasonable accusations,
Reprieved so many times from unrelenting sorrow.
His self-esteem lowering,
Distraught by unjust acts,
Dreaming of the life he used to have.
Slowly drinking his problems away,
Numbing the sorrow within,
No longer anxious of the day of his execution.
"
