Afolabi Muideen Poet Free verse

Needed To Use Wisely

NEEDED TO USE WISELY

Morning dew splatters upon my head
I stand on a point thinking of what to do for tomorrow
yesterday slipped through my fingers 
as autumn slipped through summer
today is about to pass me by
as 29th is about to pass through 30th
yet my tomorrow is unknown
why not wait for me time?
My age increase everyday
While I still on a point thinking of what to do
Winter passes me by made to shiver,
Evoke the image of a friend I saw yesterday in an exotic car
Tears roll like stream from my eyes to mouth,
I taste the sweetness of laziness
Whom should I blame except me………………….
Time is precious, needed to use wisely
