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
