"The Life He Lived" (Entry 44)

They always said they expected it.
(Seeing the life he lived)
They said they always knew and reflected,
(Seeing the life he lived)

Given the life he lived.

They smugly gossiped, he was out on a limb.

(Seeing the life he lived)

What can you expect from a man like him?
