What did I steal that was of great value?
Probably the time that was needed
to get me from being a clearly a child
to a person who unexamined seems like an adult.
When I was a child they said
'We give our time freely'
whilst being constantly busy.
What they hid when this was said
was 'And if we were paid for
our efforts we would feel worth
a lot more, but the money ain't there'.
The absent words were as powerful
as the yearned for money and choice.
This made absence the ultimate measure.
