Busy

They took the guile and base for me prostrate outside the gate for me when I was four I asked for more they said they'd do their best for me They knelt beside my bed for me when I was sick with leprosy I cried all night by candlelight They sang a song of clemency Instilled my life’s integrity with vigilant intensity such memories glow easily intelligence adhered to me With discipline I should abide with inspirations far and wide to school I went with confidence and pick-axe handle by my side But now I'm so much older though heart is so much colder I'm also so much stronger in need of care no longer I haven't got the time for you I'm blessed with better things to do.
