Poem
In no time, seconds tick to minutes and minutes hasten to hours Hours run full speed to days, days grow wings and fly to become weeks Then months, years, decades…. Like a flash, all this like a flash, life is too short Because life is too short, Maximizing pleasure is for them no fault Like one possessed, so the girl dances the night away But her morning turns bitter, realizing she has gone faraway And the devoted family man falls for it too ‘cause life is too short For the sweet and the pleasant he craves, So he steals the waters, and the bread in secret he breaks But alas, to a piece of bread he is brought by his stolen waters The church woman as well, and her feet, abide not in her house, for life is too short “Come let’s take our fill of love till morning, for the good man has gone a long journey” Like the adulteress spoken of by King Solomon, with her cage She whispers to her latest catch, her last offspring’s age Child, you’re wrong and that’s not the meaning, so hear Not in your narrow interpretation life is surely too short, dear Life is so short that you maximize enjoyment? Child, you’re wrong and that’s not the meaning, so hear Man, damn right life is too short; too narrow is your understanding To share have I what really meanest it, so your attention please give me I swear you will get it not even when you lend me both your ears But your virgin mind too bring it along, so you appreciate what exactly meanest “life is too short” Because life is too short, The Heavenly Father wants to be your Lord By His providence and His providence alone the King requires you in His fold For life is too short, out of you your Creator wants to get the most with no fault Woman, in His paths of light He wants to guide your weak feet Before He takes from you His breath ‘Cause He knows life is too short to be lived meaninglessly, so precious is every minute He is to give And independent of Him He doesn’t want you to live Life is too short, dear His perfect will on you is all He wants you to grasp clear So that to His Kingdom you hugely contribute before His breath He takes away For life is surely too short only in this way.
