A prayer for friend

I met my friend waiting for the train
he’s got a ticket for a place
where hardly anyone reigned

He said he wants to find himself
go as far as he could
'cause he is tired of everyone else

Didn’t know what to say
just smiled and turned away
but never did the words fade away

I removed the dirt from the book
and tried to remember what the Wiseman said
“Life is war, fight it until you drop,
make your life pure and everything else will be cured
you can never run and can never hide
payback is here and it’s always right.”

With these words in my head
I lie down on bed and start to pray
“Today’s gone tomorrow will come
if not sunshine, don’t even let rain to drown”
