Look Out
Look out!…Not in!
Time is finite
As hourglass sand
And fickle as the wind
The morrow is n’er
A given thing
Nor does sorrow
last forever
Look out!…Not in!
For time wears thin
There’s no certainty
Of tomorrow or of ever
The Reaper grim
Might just look in
Then pass on by
(with a knowing grin)
In full faith
And knowing full well
That he will return
…again…
Forget yourself…
And open your eyes
To ones around and
About you,
Dwell not on self
But on strangers and kin
Time is finite
…Look out! Not in!…
