Poem
-You can have all the money in the world, but I can't say the same about time...- It can't be put in the garbage so time can't be wasted This is my time though, I can almost taste it Days, weeks, months, years Blood, sweat, sleep, tears All the time I feel there isn't enough hours in a day Losing an hour is like a soul being taken away Every day death is a result of a car crash Every week a house fire turns flesh to ash Every year... An ocean is created by a tear Time, time, time, seconds, minutes Time is like money to us, we don't know how to spend it Like with money, we don't budget our time We'd all be incarcerated if it were a crime Think of all the people you know that after high school take a few years vacation They don't really see college as a destination Now at 25 they decide to go back to school Because being a couch potato wasn't cool That's 6 or 7 years wasted on nothing When you could've went to school and made a $45,000 salary or something Growing up I watched people my age or older waste time so badly I decided to learn from that mistake gladly And to think people take shortcuts financially by drug dealing Stealing The time you spend in jail, does it sound appealing You can't make money serving time in jail That's all people care about but can you take it to hell? If you manage to get it down there, it'll be the victim of the blaze Time is the ally of our age Speaking of time they say we're running out of it That's why I'm anxious to find the woman to spend the rest of my life with With a real rare gift Why race the time Surely it's more fast Why waste the time Surely it's not trash Time to pay for our crimes? Ironic? Time is running like Sonic The opposite of Karma, because it doesn't come back around Way past due getting my feet off the ground You hear that alarm, it's so loud I'm proud, but we pretend not to hear a sound
