Time

The clock is ticking
Time is passing
Mistakes are engraved
Looking back I cannot erase nor can I replace
Time has made a permanent place
I cannot control, I cannot erase 
Things of the pass are forever engraved
Time we cannot change 
Nor can we turn back or accelerate
Time is great it's the one thing
Mankind cannot control or erase
Time is a master piece of its own
It teaches us how to avoid mutual mistakes
For there are things in this life 
We cannot erase or change

it is interesting how once the now is gone we take past memory-dreams as real
