Shouting into the night

Atop the moonlit hill

there lives a lonely man,

He shouts and screams all night

as fiercely as he can.

The townsfolk beg he stops,

they need to fall in slumber

But every night the stubborn man,

their wishes he does encumber.

Their anger begins to rise

and the petitions gain some traction,

Whilst never asking why

the man repeats this action.

The truth that hides behind this man,

a truth he’ll never tell,

he shouts all night in fierce rage

to be saved from lonely hell
