"The Irony Of Time"
Time,
an inflexible tyrant
the true ruler of existence
our prince of precision
arrogantly he passes us by
taking
callously, without remorse
our youth, our beauty,
our days, our loved ones,
and inevitably,
our lives
All stolen by
the chronological criminal
And still, we yearn for him
grasp unto him
bestow upon him our absolute loyalty
keep track of his every whim
We require his perfection
we seek him obsessively
for without him we are left
dreams unappeased
goals incomplete
self unexplored
future unfinished
Time tightly clutches
the answer we so longingly seek
wisdom, healing, change,
all in his possession
truly the essence of bittersweet
