Time To Flee

TIME TO FLEE

      Crossing ten I turned impatient
      to escape dominant parent.
      But time refused to run faster.
      Teen age peeped, slow went semester.

        Time bound schedule, so restriction,
        time controlling, no free option.
        Time went slow, I got bored, damn tired,
         waited long to be a free bird.

       Vibrant jubilant youth stepped in.
       Time accelerated: Days green.
        Much work, responsibility.
        Speedy time wished quality.

        Young turned senior citizen.
        Rhythmic life to face sad dizain.
        Fame, glory, glamour drooped to stink
        Time is abundant, fields to shrink.

       Inevitable retirement,
       No boost, no work, sit indolent.
       Time tumbles, rolls in slow speed.
       Life to end and time will proceed.
