Value Time

Value Time
Time is that something
man has created
by inventing a clock
to track the motion
of the sun

but all of us
fall short of it mostly
we all simply
whine, go here and there
to dance and dine
then we define
time yours you spent
money mine

now for your smaller pleasures
I have none
I'm very busy
for you I have
just no more of my
invaluable time
don't weep as I sleep
said she

Resting well...

is the key, she said,
So don't think, you're in my head
I'll have time to rest when I'm dead

Good work, but still deadly. ~ Geez.

what is the mission of a prolific poet
but to help others

pull em out of mind's deepest graves

TIME
has different waves
many learn to surf
even in time's
RIVERS
and this is
LIFE
