` UNIVERSITY OF LIFE '
PEOPLE ON BENCHES CANS IN THE DIRT
ALL GIVING GLIMPSES OF TROUBLES AND HURT
HANDSHAKES AND BACKPATS AND " OCH' DAE' YA' KEN` "
PEOPLE REMEMBERING HOW THINGS WERE BACK THEN
ROSE COLOURED MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD AND TOYS
OLD MEN RECALLING THE DAYS THEY WERE BOYS
TALKING OF SCHOOL MATES AND TEACHER'S THEY HATED
SAYING " NOT MY FAULT " YOU KNOW THIS WAS FATED
STILL THEY SIT ON THERE IN THE GLOOM
GRASS COLOURED VERGES FOR THEIR LIVING ROOM
GATHERED TOGETHER HUGGLED UP CLOSE
STONES USED FOR PILLOWS JACK FROST AT THEIR TOES
"FATHER LOOK ON THEM, LOOK ON THEM WITH LOVE
TELL THEM YOU KNOW THEM WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH"
