Shadows dance when light flutters
Colour is either black or white.
Time is nigh, the breeze mutters,
Seize the chance when it exists.

Cogwheels of this world turn all day,
Not a wink of sleep, even at night.
Present is sprinting towards future, away,
The past, already a forgotten knight.

Always in a race, sweating blood
Alas, not a moment to spare.
All this work to reach sweet, beloved-
rest, to breathe, to be, we swear.

We are the developed men, disciplined
And sleep only after our miles, covered.
We are unique, growth unparalleled
Soon we shall sit on thrones, refined.

The one above, on His laughter, chokes,
And the Fates smirks, eyes locked.
Mounts can't help, they clap their thighs,
Ocean waves croon, songs so mocked.

Fools are ye, that wait for time,
For when this is over, all shall be over.
Life can't be bought, with many a dime,
Once forgotten, she's lost forever.

Prance around and feel,stir trouble when you can.
Touch the grass, talk to trees, listen to birds sing.
Revel in the joys, what's left, in this Eden for man
Embrace the loved, spread more love, be the right king.
