All the wasted time along the way.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Think about how you spend your day.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Often wasted, hung out to dry.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Stoned, inebriated, wondering why?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Your time here is limited, for sure.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Put health first. Keep things pure.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This may give you a few more years.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the use? You say through tears.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

What good are a few extra years?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Make use of the wasted time. Don\u2019t fear.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You could be building a great career.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Better yet, if religious minded at all,<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

prepare the way for the heavenly call.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Be welcomed into those pearly gates.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Do all you can before it is too late.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

If it\u2019s not your bag, just be a better man.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Why should you do all you can?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It will make life better for those around .<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Thinking of others pays off, I have found.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Whatever way you would choose to go.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It is better than wasted time, you know.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

If wasted time is kept to a minimal,<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

there are no regrets when you go.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
