Just a Minute
I’ve only just a minute,
Only sixty seconds in it.
Forced upon me, can’t refuse it,
Didn’t seek it, didn’t choose it,
But it’s up to me to use it.
I must suffer if I lose it,
Give an account if I abuse it,
Just a tiny little minute,
But eternity is in it.
The poem Just a Minute was written by Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, a former Baptist minister, civil rights leader, sixth President of Morehouse College, a mentor of the late, great Martin Luther King, Jr. and Atlanta Mayor Maynard Jackson, and an advocate of non-violence and civil resistance as taught and practiced by Mahatma Gandhi. Dr. Mays was also a major influence in the life of the Honorable Representative of Maryland’s 7th District, Congressman Elijah E. Cummings.
