He ----of the cracked windows and
Broken down porch,
Fills rusty buckets with his own filth
He---- the corpse rotting within the
Decrepit row house
He ---- advised ten presidents,
Read top secret cables,
Smiled for the camera,
Linking arms with heads of state.
He ---- died famished and forgotten,
Behind a locked door.
