Time

A mistress more cruel than mother nature herself

Can steal one's beauty, fame, and wealth

Endlessly present and forever aware

Of the insignificance you hold when others compare

Oblivious to your pleadings

To wind back the clock

And numerous attempts

To avoid death's inevitable

Knock-knock

Time is today

Yesterday & Tomorrow

So please try and contain

Your youth wishing sorrow

Your nose-wrinkling pain

And eye-twitching terror

Time won't be caught ever making an error

Time is a being of a grand design

So best to watch yourself and not get out of line

Please enjoy your days

As plenty or as few

Because one day you will realize

Time has been working on you
