War of Life

That little boy 
Who lost his toy 
Will soon forget 

But if the toy 
Lost the little boy
No one would forget 

Funny thing, this ‘Time’
Makes the wise wiser
And the unwise, more

Time and ‘God’ 
Always at war 
Each one taking us in opposite directions 

Time wins each time 
But ‘God’ still tries 
The war is called life.
