Howard Tunick Poet Rhyme

Now Or Never

The future becomes the present just passed
We’re born into that future that will never last
We live in a present that passes so fast
Then die in that future that will be the past
In the present we work and endeavor
To build a future we hope will be better
But the dreams of youth that stretch on forever
Unrealized become what we know of as never
So cling to each moment you can’t live in the future
Don’t waste your time staring at a computer
Live each day as if there’s no future
For all to soon you will be aghast
To find as promised all your presents have passed
