Time

"Time"
People often rat pack
Quick to have the last laugh
It's a sad fact
That we never could get past that
Time is something we can never have back
Few heed the forecast
Torches pass
Opposing forces clash
Since the prehistoric past
Waters roaring
Weather storming
Gases forming
Among all the forking paths
Time continuously soaring fast
Even before there was Pterodactyl's
Always looming in the distance like an Ant hill
Weighing heavily on the mind like an anvil
Can't fix what can kill with just an Advil
Time never at a standstill
Close by and in light years
Voices calling in my ear
It's quite clear
Why fear?
In the end we all die here
Eventually our time's near
Thank you for the nice talk
Push through when life is colder than an ice block
Don't give up, even if it's quite the shock
Something you can't just write off
That we can't fight the clock
Because never does time stop
It's not all about prize winning
Don't spend it all wine sipping
Be true instead of lying and tricking
Try swimming instead of ending it by quitting
While living
Endlessly time ticking
You don't always need night vision
Look hard to find what is quite hidden
Make the best of your life and live it
Only so much time is given
It held true, not just wrote in rhyme
Wasn't always going fine
Until I had a sober mind
Changes occurred over time
Throughout life
Always will be ups and downsides
It took awhile, but peace I found by
A cowhide below the cloud line
Where birds all around fly
Instead of trying to doubt why
Now I
Am of a sound mind
Could say it was overdue and about time
Energy and moving objects may collide
It all relates to state of mind
So don't be afraid and whine
Reach new heights then take the climb
Be strong so you can break the ice
Stay sharp as the blade of a knife
Beside the age of a tide
While you can have a whale of a time
More to life than red wine
And dead guys (money)
Hold your head high
Give it all your best try
In order to withstand the test of time
