Profit
When profit guides the needs of man,
the wise withdraw to where they can
look closely at just what they need,
although it's true, you must succeed
in feeding family and provide
the things that keep us all alive.
When things look bleak and fall apart
look deep for what is in your heart,
don't let the bastards grind you down
or even let them see you frown.
Just bare your soul for all to see,
a winner you will always be.
But I don't care the deed is done
and I'll continue having fun
for when you've lived as long as me
important things have changed you see.
They're not the things that you can buy
but those you carry when you die.
Ivor G Davies
