The Hobo
Time's moments takes it's toll
adding gravitational pull
To a body, so weighed down
His chin can touch the ground
With pain visible on his face
He lives sans his wit, and grace
A life of selfishness, his crime
now sentenced, to a duel with time
And time's blatent tenacity
plus it's control over eternity
Reminds the man how much it's cost
for him to realize what he's lost
So he wears time's final wrath
As he walks life's thorny path
All alone without a friend
He walks the path to journey's end.

What has he been and gone and done then?
This is obviously someone who knows
he has done something wrong
and is weighed by his conscience
deep down he finds the darkness
gives him no solace and dies alone.
"Time's moments takes it's toll" This English puzzles me.
