Time-Tested

Neither sages nor seers
No preachers or peers,
Time teaches best.

Neither prayers nor potions
No pills or lotions,
Time heals best.

Neither care nor compassion
No penance or pardon,
Time mends best.

Neither fate nor fortune
No blessings or boon,
Time favors best.

Neither passion nor patience
No revolt or reverence,
Time subdues best.

Neither sword nor sorcery
No death or destiny,
Time vanquishes best.
