How Fortunate The Man With None

You saw sagacious solomon

You know what came of him,

To him complexities seemed plain.

He cursed the hour that gave to birth him

And saw that everything was vain.

How great and wise was solomon.

The world however did not wait

But soon observed what followed on.

Its wisdom that had him brought to this state.

How fortunate the man with none.

You saw courageous caesar next

You know what he became.

They deified him in his life

Then had him murdered just the same.

And as they raised the fatal knife

How loud he cried: you too my son!

The world however did not wait

But soon observed what followed on.

Its courage that had brought him to that state.

How fortunate the man with none.

You heard of honest socrates

The man who never lied:

They werent so grateful as youd think

Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried

And handed him the poisoned drink.

How honest was the peoples noble son.

The world however did not wait

But soon observed what followed on.

Its honesty that brought him to that state.

How fortunate the man with none.

Here you can see respectable folk

Keeping to gods own laws.

So far he hasnt taken heed.

You who sit safe and warm indoors

Help to relieve out bitter need.

How virtuously we had begun.

The world however did not wait

But soon observed what followed on.

Its fear of God that brought us to that state.

How fortunate the man with none.
