The Test Of Time

Time is very much like a RIVER
Throwing up GHOSTS to make us SHIVER
And leaves us sweating and COLD
How many like Faust have their souls sold?
DELIVERING webs so WICKED
With no return journey,life is but a one way ticket
That the mind freezes
And our world teases
So many with a tormented mind
From which rarely can they  solace find
How can we escape this cold phantasmagoria
To translate it into  full blown  ecstatic euphoria ?
There never can be a proper escape
From time's oppressive  chronological  rape
