You Have Learned In The Hard Way

You have learned in the hard way on self alone you must depend When in dire financial trouble you did not seem to have a friend Of Moses unwritten commandment most people seem aware Man as well as woman likewise of your own selves do take care Advice from a wise old elder i often do recall Everyone for him and for herself and god for us all From life we never stop learning though our journeys take us far It is when you are in trouble that you know who your friends are When your friends you needed they were not there It seemed they had more important commitments elsewhere You were unlucky in your ex friends one has to say Since not everyone behaves in such a way A true friend in your times of trouble will not see you down When all others avoid you as the plague of the town.
