Life of a Salesman (poem 2)

This Poem's structure: this poem is free verse with no rhyme scheme. The meter is also varied with no consistent structure.

Will he be Loman on the totem pole?
“Attention must be paid”
Though his pocket never was
Except from the charitable wallet of a friend

Why doesn’t he quit?
The flute song must stop at some point
He is the diamond “rough and hard to touch”
That Ben found in a concrete jungle

He had such promise!
His boys as well
One was Happy and the other was not
The latter destroyed through tragic flaw

He mended the roof over their heads
But left a hole in their hearts
His life was nothing more to him
Than a signature in an insurance office

He is well liked
His story will always be told
And many will be moved

By this Life of a Salesman
