Time

  The sun sets,
 The moon rises.
 Where does the day go?
 The clock ticks
 Faster, louder.
 The hours chime
 Sooner, quicker.
 Time goes by
 And things are left undone.
 No time left
 To learn.
 No time left
 To live.
 No time left
 To love.
 Maybe today ends
 To never return
 And tomorrow never comes.
 So time disappears
 Without a trace.
 No concern for those left behind,
 No pity for the abusers,
 Not a single thought.
 Just a steady never ending
 Rhythm of a reply.
