Top Of The World

Time is luck

Luck is money

Money is lives

Time for luck

Luck give money

Money value lives

Time of unluck

Unluck sans money

Money absent value of life

We stand on top of the world

Wherever we stand

So long as not 6’ under

The top of the world

Built upon layers of life

Or death, rather, over time

If you are 6’ under

Your time, luck, and money are ours

And we are spending them on survival

If you are on the earth

Your time luck and money is mine

Atlas slips yet carries you forward

Atlas’ Rise, JHB, 2025.
