Gershon Wolf Poet Roundel

If Time Were Ours

If time were ours, would we be glad
  Would we fill it up with plans and things
    Would we spend time wisely, or go mad
If time were ours...

I know that singers would endless sing
  I know that clowns would always be sad  
    I know that to you I'd always cling
If time were ours...  

Would cruel tyrants be swiftly unclad
  Would people proclaim that God is King
    Would we all link, arm-in-arm, comrades
If time were ours...
