Must Every Second Count

      Must every second always count
        eyes focused on the prize

      Must purpose color our every act
        ‘til every vista’s funereal black

I think you meant 'funeral' in L4? And yes, I believe every second counts but we have to value self-care, relaxing, meditating, sleeping, quality time spent on relationships ~ it's a balancing act with all the things we want to accomplish.
