Time

01-12-04

Time is of the essence,
Time is transitory,
Time will come to cease,
Time is momentary.

Yet many waste it,
Behind the trivial pursuits of life.
Some reach great heights of fame,
And engrave their name in history.
Some usurp the earth,
And terrorise its inhabitants.
They too cannot outlive,
The promise of time.
Death will be tasted by all.

What have you done,
To live your imprint upon,
This marvellous design?

The future passes into present,
The present soon becomes past,
Yesterday is gone,
Today is the time to get things done.
