The Irreversible Factor
THE IRREVERSIBLE FACTOR
‘There is time for everything’.
We have all been saying
All the time in our mouths and minds
But in reality this does not surface in our lives, which I mind,
I blame it on poor planning and indiscipline,
Which are clear in our daily lives, and it’s plain.
A fish does not live on land and birds in water,
Neither do elephants fly.
All have places they habitat.
And so is time; no change, no exchange.
The opportunity today is irreversible tomorrow.
That opportunity when it may come again takes a different façade.
A flying elephant can have a chance in an art gallery,
A nice painting of a bird under the sea and a standing fish on land
Can but give an artistic representation of impossibility.
Passing time has no representation again in both reality and fanciness,
But a history of no amends and reversibility.
If there is no event on a given time,
It becomes insignificant but only takes away a chunk of our limited duration on earth!
