Time the Selfish Man

(Saturday 7th April 2012)

Time Time the Selfish Man.
Time takes, never gives,
Time steals and laughs, runs and hides,
And borrows without return.

And Time is never enough.
We want but do not have,
We bore but it creeps on.
Time shows us what life is,
And we never do forget,
That Time is always King.

And Time does not discriminate or divide,
All beings are one with Time.
You will not better your neighbour,
Nor conquer your foe,
If what you depend on is Time.

So just what IS the sense of Time?
Who needs it?
We age, we forget,
And Time leaves us needing what we never had,
And takes from us what we do.

Should we be happy?
Is our time on Earth enough?
Do we do what Time permits?
Or just what we are able?
And do YOU need MORE time ....
To make up, to undo or compensate.
Then perhaps more of life you would have,
And less of Time would you need.

So at the end of all of this,
Time is the Healer,
The Raging Fire, The Giver and Taker,
The Ruler of all hearts,
And Stalker of minds.

So if you ever feel you need or lack,
Time will come to your aid,
Then take from your lips,
The sweet scent of freedom.
You will not know it,
But Time has been and gone,
And left you for another.
