Changes
Things are changing ’round this town
Now there’s far less cash around;
“Lubricates one’s life, it does” –
Viewed by most as god because –That’s the way the world is run;
That’s the ticket to the fun
One can have of first-world fare –
“Get some cash for life is there”.Middle-class are not that crass,
Just so long as they’ve got cash;
House, and car, and holiday,
Based on job or pension-pay.“Hope is built on nothing less”,
Goes the hymn; I must confess
It sounds good, but pull the cash,
That’s the point when folks will ask –“Is there hope in Western Man?
Tell me if our children can
Still engage in life today –
Will they hear the future say –“ ‘Life still works, come in my friend;
Enter in – the present bend
To your will – engage in life;
Hope still triumphs over strife’?”Cash to me is how it’s done –
Cuts the guff – where life’s begun;
Talk is cheap until that point,
Then we see whom to anoint –With the credit for the power
In our lives in trouble’s hour;
Kindness trumps our cash all ways –
God will from the ash-heap raise.navigation
