What have you achieved,

now you're old?

Did you fulfill ambition,

do as you were told?

Or are you still doing

the same this year?

Should I give sorrow

or turn 'round and sneer?

I know that the prospects

weren't all that good.

But they improved and I'd

have thought that you could.

Have strived for that something

we all have deep inside.

Not let it vanish along

with your pride.

Now with the aid of your new walking stick

you hobble along through society thick,

and look mesmerized by the face of it all.

You keep to the gutter, in case you fall.

I can't go on...
