Eghe - Time-

In these Days, We Prayed April 12, 2013 ÉGHÉ (Time) ? WÉGHÉ' With time The barren becomes pregnant With time The pregnant woman becomes a mother With time the mother becomes a daughter With time The married woman becomes a widow With time The childless widow becomes an object Of obscurity and weak pity. With time An hero's deeds are told as stories While great events become myths And Once-Upon-A-Time. For with time Mountains metamorphose to sand Rivers turn farmland And Hills reduce to slime. And time frowns nor smiles on nothing neither does he give nor take anything for only a fool boast with a dime. Oh time you are too slow but yet so fast For our tomorrow becomes yesterday Like the uncertain colouration of a lime. Man is a slave to time As all men will answer to the call of time. For the authority he exacts is divine Nothing happens without the  Consent of time. The past is Time The present is Time The future is Time And Éghé himself is Time.. ? Godwin Henry Osaigbovo Pa Shakespeare
