How

How fleeting life is and what it brings How small is engagement to its cause How cluttered minds are with foolish things How we never look within and pause How trapped we are in years we wander How reason and passion turn to rage How short the time for minds to ponder How we've built cities to be our cage How thoughts have need to be entertained How minds fall in its empty crevasse How time is memories self contained How the years and minutes quickly pass How quickly birth to death is traveled How we believe we own everything How silent last breath when its gaveled How time's a motionless moving thing
