Nothing's Free Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You've got to know...
Life becomes what it is to be.
And not what one believes is free.
Each of us have separate missions.
And only those missions we receive.

You've got to know...
Life becomes what it is to be,
For believers who know nothing's free
Since each of us have separate missions.
And from birth they are received

You've got to know...
Everyone who gets to live is tested.
To live with a doing of their best.
And some may find that getting rest,
Maybe the 'thing' they get less.
Everyone who gets to live is tested.
To live with a doing of their best.
And some may find that getting rest,
Maybe the 'thing' they get less.

You've got to know...
What is NOW isn't what it was.
And that's what change means and it does.
While some may wish for time to stop,
As they sit back to clock watch.
But that clock, tick tocks...
To tick tock.
But that clock, tick tocks...
To tick tock.

What is NOW isn't what it was.
And that's what change means and it does.
Some may wish for time to stop.
As they sit back to clock watch.
But that clock, tick tocks...
To tick tock.

You've got to know...
Very few have time to waste.
As they wish for a slice of cake.
To taste the way they prefer it baked...
And then to wait and hesitate,
For a better cake baked.

You've got to know...
That clock,
Tick tocks.
To tick tock.
That clock,
Tick tocks.

You've got to know...
That clock,
Tick tocks.
To...tick tock.
That clock,
Tick tocks.

You've got to know...
Everyone here is on a mission,
To do without omission.
Few are excused from conditions...
To refuse,
To do!
