Time

Beautiful is life When life is lived well Generous the opportunities Enrichment entails But when life is not lived Squandered; worthless, trivial pursuits Life passes by Wasteful; all actions are moot Hindsight is tragic Life’s purpose unfound We cling to a fictitious image The facade of something profound Intentions misguided Time; unaware of all that is lost Intoxicated by foolish pleasures Cognitively; deep despair is the cost You lived life as if it was forever Impermanence; never entered your mind You procrastinated Now you beg and pray for more time All we have is this very moment Time is valuable; profound Awareness; so much has been wasted What do you do now? We all die before our time Frantic; it’s sad and true You don’t waste time You waste you
