Time

Time BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB My name is time I’m linked to crime Sometimes they cry when I pass them by At different places, I have different faces It is amazing to see them hate me But even when they hate me They’re loosing pieces of me I’m a universal genius They even try to buy me Sometimes I run, sometimes I walk But if they know me well They know that I am constant I’m slow when they need me And quick when they mistreat me But as you sit and read this You've used some pieces of me But even when you eat me You will never kill me 1 February 2012
