The Speed of Time

Time outruns those who don't sprint 
To keep up. It never turns back
Or bothers to wait for idle souls

Why carry coals to Newcastle?
Time misspent is time gone forever
Easy come and easy go

Time is too busy to wallow in
The stillness of now. Indeed, it does 
Flee like a long-distance runner

With an engine that keeps on 
Humming and chugging, it keeps on
Steadily; time never crawls, it sprints
