From Deda:

Put not your faith in princes
Whose only faith in you
Is that you'll play roughs and ditches
So the princes can play through.


DonÕt place your hope in bankers
Who only hope for wealth,
Who trade in guns and tankers,
And profit, pounds and pelf.


Waste not your love on lawyers
Whose hearts have turned to dust,
Those Ivy League marauders
Steal the pie and sue the crust.



May my faith not diminish.
Let my hope not erode.
Let love be the start and finish
And the entire road.
