Does Time Go Faster

Does time go faster
when one feels happy
and forgets all worries
that pound the brain daily
noticing that who despairs
makes life bitter, not mellower? 

Ponder on these words wisely,
choose a direction with clarity,
step down from the pedestal
of deception and surprise them all!

Does time go faster
gazing and not staring longer
at the hopeless faces 
one meets and wishes not to say
hello to share their gullibility?

Watch the steady flow of brooks,
their water burbles through rocks,
we should imitate them and learn:
whoever avoids hurdles is bound to burn.
