If I had time
I'd go to Church
And hear the Litany
That says if I,
Pray till I die
There's riches due to me.
If I had time
I'd go to School
And listen to the Sage
Who'll tell me
In his wisdom
There are jewels on his page.
If I had time
Then I would seek
A Politician's view
Who'd tell me
if I vote for him
That benefits accrue.
If I had time
I'd look to Law
To settle the dispute
I'd seek advice
Clear and concise
If that would bear me fruit.
But are they selling Gems, or Glass, these wise and learned few?
I cannot put a price on truth, and nor, I think, can you.
So, spend your time with Prudence,
Or with Sarah,
Or Yvonne,
That way you'll still have memories, when all the rest has gone!
