Tick says the clock,
the unending voice of time
it’s train, trudging on
Never waiting, never stopping.
I am Time
Nothing mortal has been able to stop me.
Nothing mortal will ever do.
Till the archangel comes.
Tick says the clock.
Time lost, is time gone,
Time wasted, is life wasted
The man chasing me ends up wearied
The man waiting for me ends up restless.
Like money is never enough.
Time is never enough
It keeps flying away
The bird of time never rests.
Who knows how much time we have left?
When the fabric of mortality will be taken from us
When time stands to tick no more
When man stands to boast no more.
Suddenly, the archangel shall blow his trump.
Then time shall die
Whilst we escape into
timelessness.
To the land where no man shall dirge, it’s demise.
Selah.

Very inspiring poem sir, I have lost time which I wish I could gain back but alas it’s all gone and I’ve decided that I will not waste any more time again as long as am doing what I love doing most.

When we do what we love time seems short. When we do what we hate time seems long.

While there is still time, man should make good use of it

Time is the most important & most expensive, yet the most unvalued resource ever. Part wasted can never be recouped, it get bye slowly but steadily. It waits for no one. Huuunnn! K’ara ole o baba.
