At Least His Name
(MLK.)
At least his name?
Dedicated to Mickael a friend living in Earls court gardens,
sometimes Collingham road?
I saw a man in my street
Seating on some stairs
Using them as chairs
Plastic bags on his feet
I say:?hey, man what is your name?
he looked at me strangely
like I was an enemy
and says: nobody ever ask my name.
That?s just what life is about
U meet people, u say who you are
They make you who you are
The thought of my lifestyle came as a doubt
Would I be able to be alone?
People passing by a statue
Where each stare is judging you
Could we really be on our own?
I start asking him how he got there
He told me he was there 25 years
He had so much hair on his ears
I got the feeling u get when life is unfair
25 years sleeping on the concrete
Mickael, was a normal man working
He had a family, a house, a living
So what took him in the street?
The drink made him homeless
So drunk he couldn?t even work
So after he got stuck
His daughter has given him no address
She doesn?t even know his shame
He tells me it is better this way
Sleeping on a floor as clean as an ashtray
Shouldn?t we know at least his name?
MLK.
