A Year Already

I wish I knew what to do
I wish there is a way to move along
To live in a world I term unreal
With only an age more before I’m begone

Older I become… ignorance is to learn
Yet… isn’t older to be, to be wiser in turn
To be wiser to endure perhaps… is earn
Yet to endure… will I one day be burnt

Already a year more it has to be
Another year like this… what is to become of me?
Must ignorance be of ultimate remedy?
Before another age can procure freedom to be free

Our lives we live in rules given by man
We learn to be cultured and civilized… but did we?
As the world change, the world change towards every end
And of every end unaware for any one to see

Some maintain as their own
Others like me changes with time
Yet time was unknown to be known
To only leave everyone else behind
