Who is this enigma.

A life lost

From the time that he left the warmth of the womb

And made his first cry out loud

He made his friends and family

Ever and ever so proud

He studied hard and excelled in school

Chemistry and math

Each would be his future building tool

He developed a formula

And put on it his name to demonstrate its effectiveness

He loaded some on his plane

In mid air

An awful explosion occurred

And no more of this man was ever heard

But a badly injured shadow

Through the forest did room

Not knowing who he was

Or where was his home

His wounds did heal

Left scars very distinct

He learned to live with nature

And depend on his instinct

With borrowed clothes and shoes

From campsites scattered

Here and there

He started walking the highway

Not knowing or caring to where

    Well told, you must have had a specific person in mind.
