BEAT IT

Fill the belly of every second
Please make them full
So they can see the strength end
Of their minutes
And ultimately have them pulled

II
Light the fire of every minute
Training in work to have them wake
And like the ant cherishing the minute
They will smoke  out your hour

III
Whip up your hours
And let them yours
And like a great horse
It will take you to day

IV
Train your day like a boxer trains for stamina
Pains mostly gain
And like a good student
It will fly you to month

V
Fly your months in wings unbreakable
And it will carry you to the safe arms of year
A repeat of your passion
In same order
Is what you need to retain your love
For life is like a woman
Love her passionately
And she’ll be yours forever
