When Time Fails!

When time fails 

Catastrophe strikes 

Because time is

The essence of Everything 

So guard Jealousy 

The time you have. 

 

When time fails 

The losses are uncountable 

The clock stops ticking 

The pulse stops beating 

You’ll be pronounced dead 

The evidence is there 

For All to see. So guard Jealousy 

The time you have 

 

When time fails 

Dreams end, aspirations 

Die, hopes are dashed 

Nothing Remains any more 

So do not play games 

With the time allotted

Be decisive, know what 

You are about in life. 

 

When time fails 

Many shall gnash 

Their teeth, sigh deeply

Regrets shall be written 

On their faces, But You,  

Resolve never to be

Part of these! So, Guard 

Jealousy the Time you have!

 

When time fails 

As it has done to

Many, pause and learn 

Lessons from the havoc 

And the Devastation, So you 

Appreciate the value and 

Importance Of time. 

 

Yes there is a Day 

Coming when the time will 

Fail all of Us! It will stand still 

Our bodies shall be

Lifeless, no sounds shall 

Be heard, no motion shall

Be detected! Yes so shall it Be

But until then Enjoy 

And make the most of Each Day! 

 

O Time! O Time! 

You’ve bound Us with 

An unbreakable chord 

And drag Us Gradually

And slowly to Our Graves 

We have no control over 

You! We can only manage 

And cooperate with You! 

 

O Time! O Time! 

Before You Fail Us! 

Teach Us not only to know

Our End, but also To

Number our Days so we 

Apply our Hearts unto Wisdom!
