What would you do with just one day to live?
Said the rich to the poor
Said god to his children
God said he'd "revel"
In all his "creations"
"Watch them go to war"
And he'd "scramble to kill them."
His children replied:
"We'd just follow you, lord.
We'd do nothing more,
we would beg for your hand."
The poor said:
"You rich would take all that you want,
do all that you could,
you'd do all that we can't."
"What would you do with just one day to live?"
Said the king to his people
The king was surprised
For they felt no different
They simply replied:
"We would do what we need to-
to simply survive."
The king arose:"Why??"
He said "all you could do?"
"You could celebrate me?"
"What's to celebrate for???"
They said "listen,
you take us to war,
and you've beat us and killed us already,
so one day is one day more."
It's too late
None of this is mine to take
To get my way
Not enough
is one more day
"What would you do with just one day to live?"
Said the slave to the master
The master said blind:
"I would spend no time with thoughts about you,
fudging poor and obtuse
My day would be mine."
The people they gathered with one day to live
They met to decide
what a day can be good for
A day like none other
with nothing to forgive
was better to die than to carry on one day more
It's too late
What of this is mine to take
To get my way
Not enough
is one more day
One more day
One more day
One more day
