I met a man, not long ago From where he came, I do not know, He approached me with a nervous air, His bag was patched, his jeans threadbare. He ran a hand through his hair, And asked me to pay his fare, He had no means to make his way, This was the last train for today. He told me that he’d had to flee, The war zone with his family, Their faces lit his cracked old phone, As he stood there all alone. The thing is, I’ve heard this tale before, I’ve heard it once, and I’ll hear more, The con-men know of war as well, And they’ve found new tales to tell. With hitched sobs and artful cries, They speak of ‘home’ with teary eyes, With outstretched palms and a pained lament, They play me like an instrument. Once, I rushed to believe, When my heart was young and quick to grieve, When I was gullible and naive, And really easy to deceive. But all of that was long before, My eyes grew hard and my steps grew sure, Not that easy to beguile, I’ve not been that girl for quite a while. I no longer watch the news, And protests are of little use, This awful world will make you tough, Once you’ve been fooled for long enough. Is this man a liar too? Would it even matter if I knew? In an ocean of despair, Does it matter if I pay his fare? …I’ve realised that I don’t care. So I looked him in the eye, And I told him “I think you’re lying.” And then for better or for worse, I reach down into my purse. The world is cold, no longer kind, And it bleeds what good it finds, I have no more soft things to say, But…I have some coin today. He thanked me and walked away, Was he lying? Who can say? My purse is light, my heart is not, I guess I’ll take what I’ve got. I have no more soft things to say, But I’ll reach for my purse anyway, Is it foolish? Is it kind? Your guess is as good as mine.
