Old Wise Man - April 2008

Old wise man with your long cloak and beard
The look in your eye confirms what I feared
Bend your head and occasionally your knees
living that way must be a breeze

But when you go home and hang up your praying uniform
Do you feel its for God that you have to conform
To a life of discipline, rules and the book
Are you real wise man - or are you just a crook?

I see you up there on your platform on Sabbath
Are you a scared as me of his rath
Don't you question why or moan 'its not fair'
how can you rely on something that might not be there?
