If I was gifted meant to be,
drift o'er the waves a shining sea,
shift the limbs and branched canopies,
sift the brambles edged a lea.
Might this time be of arrogance?
Contrite that plagues inheritance,
red light districts embarrass us,
whites of stars shift in defiance.
Be content in doing nothing,
A prudent soul would try to sing,
The student aimed degree missing,
Impudent tongue when found will swing.
