Unnecesary Waste
Unnecessary waste, in everything, resides all around us.
Lives are so often lived wasted, unnecessarily.
So much useless destruction
Of ourselves
Relationships
Surroundings
Material possessions.
No value placed upon Time which is so crucial.
Appreciation has been replaced by status image.
Years wasted being angry with someone.
Years wasted on the wrong things for the
Wrong reasons.
Years wasted not being yourself.
Years wasted in fear.
Years wasted in hopeful delusions.
Years wasted in just being.
Then before you know it Time comes along and takes away all the years you kept
saying you weren’t going to waste.
