REVELATION

What’s life about, I did not know,

            In which direction should I go?

Is what I seek someone to love,

            Or should I find it up above?

Would children give me satisfaction?

            What about death defying action?

Should I give in to wanderlust?

            I could always watch my old car rust,

Fighting for a cause might be my thing,

            Too bad I can’t apply for the job of king,

Could drugs and alcohol get me through?

            I really didn’t have a clue,

I’ve been an American all my life,

            Why have I dealt with so much strife?

How foolish of me not to know,

            It’s around me everywhere I go,

What’s held most dear is plain as day,

            For everything we have to pay,

Health, education and such take a back seat,

            This is the thing that has all else beat,

Now I know the thing that’s right,

            The thing that gives us all the might,

For what I’ve learned I could just sing,

            I know now that money is everything!
