Time is money

Is time money?
Well what if it is?
Did the big bang make a billion
Spend it all, in one whizz
Is there a lot of it left us?
Well the universe yes
Maybe we'd all be millionaires
If we could live that long
But really that's fizz
Our episode is over
By the time the bubble
Has risen to the top
Of the champagne
And burst
Our age of fame
Must be likewise brief, filled with
Hope, life and acclaim
In order for it to feel
Any worth
So time is money only because
We value our lives
In this moment
But what if we never did own it
If the time was just on loan
From the bank
And one day we have to cash in
And return what was borrowed
Tomorrow will be just interest on today
We cannot take out more than
We can repay
And it all goes back to the bank anyway
Living on borrowed time

Well so you say time is money
And money it is time
It is interesting
What the perspective is of a rich man
Compared to a poor man on that line
Eachs' days are numbered, one may live in quality
While the other may be blessed
But live in the poverty of the oppressed or depressed
But each man's time is his money,
Each is rich in himself,
But the poor man is richer in quality time
Whereas the rich man must borrow beg, barter and steal
To truly feel his time is his own, that his time is real
Each man is a slave to some system of laws
Of government, that cement his feet in quicksand
Each wants to be free, yet it is easier to rise
From the slime when you have no belongings or baggage
But to fly when weighed down with gold
Now that is a difficult task

And what about the perspective of the young man and the old
The old maybe filled with fear of the world, though closer to repaying his
Debt to the bank he owes
Is his life worth any less than the young man full of vigour
And life force, though little in the way of wisdom's gold
The younger man will risk more, though perhaps he has more to lose, more natural long
Life promised him from the vaults to abuse
But what is this life worth in money if it is wasted, what in value if it is meaningless?
What more worthy measure is his time on earth than compared to what
The best man could earn?
No not earn, and let's not forget to mention women
Because they are on time and a half at least
