The Future Does Not Wait
THE FUTURE DOES NOT WAIT
The future does not wait
For you, me, or anyone
It has its private agenda
And no help to render
However bright the sun
For a few, it is just fate
The present remains still
As each moment passes
Whatever will be, will be
Either pleasure or agony
Seen through dark glasses
Understanding almost nil
Past was once a future
So easy now to forget
Stuck in time long gone
Now a mere skeleton
Wrapped in a coverlet
Sewn tight with a suture
