Notes About The Poem

Specail Thanks To "TIME" You Will Kill Us All One Day. :)
 

Daylight Saving Time

Yesterday, playful children engaged with the outside    
Endlessly enjoying their midsummer day's ride    

Today, another car collision, stuck in traffic  
Overwhelm by the society’s demographics  

Tomorrow, weary and mangled from overworking  
Needing assistance my aching legs have stopped working  

Yesterday, lighthearted without any prejudices    
The video game remained my only nemesis       

Today, austerely fighting to pay all the mortgage bills    
Pyrrhic weight, the body’s mobilizing nonerrant hills   
   
Things were better yesterday   
The tears were shallow. All the pains went away  

Yesterday, jolly old Saint Nicholas was bona fide     
Grandma and grandpa embraced hands actively alive   

Today, a career, car, and house, thought I had it made   
Mother and father are descending into their grave    

Tomorrow, my tears will all disappear and turn to dust 
I’ll be receiving one final trip into the earth’s crust   

The past, things were better, dreams subsisted boundlessly  
My tears were shallow. All my pains went away    
My friends were present to wish me a happy birthday   
All alone everything shall decay. All alone everything fades away   
Things were better
