Every individual posses it
But control we have not
It comes once but never again
It comes and gone it is for all eternity
Deceiver it is
Presenting you with an illusion
That it will forever abide with you
It comes once but never again

With each second, minute, hour that passes there’s a change tho unseen it may be
but a change it is
A wail, very loud , celebration and tears of joy
a baby is born
It’s a girl the doctor yells
A wail, filled with so much agony
So much pain,death just took one of their own
Why!!! They yell
Deceiver you are
It comes once but never again

Unseen is it ways
Today you were born
Tomorrow you birth your child
The next a grandchild
Death comes knocking
Where did all the time go you ask?
Deceiver it is
It comes once but never again

Friendly words I part with
Time we say ,there’s time
But there’s none!
You will never see this same time on this same day in this same year it’s gone!
Make the best of every second you get

I was hungry
You fed me not
So I drank a few glasses of water
Hoping it’ll curb my hunger
But that it did not
So I drank a few more
But I hunger still
My bladder full
But this pressing need
Has now made me your fool
So I beg you.

Careless with their lives
They slog in infested slimy waters
In rubber shoes covered in holes
Merging bodies with all the inhabitants of the world beneath their feet
They trudge on

They’re deceptive
Picking up dirts to throw it back in
In those times they’re not seen
Or so they believe

They’ve reduced themselves
To the dirt they feed themselves
And they care not
Their pores clogged with infested slimy waters

Exhibiting animalistic behaviors
They’ve now become barbarians
“Buy us water”,
They cry together.
He who is living a deceptive life
Trudging around in the slimy waters
A place no one has sent them

They feed themselves with those slimy hands?
It’s no wonder their mate died
I stamp my feet in anger!
Arrrrrrrg!
Do they not see the danger?

I do not feel pity for them
Their state of being
Though perplexing it seems
They chose this.
Their families I weep for
Bodies coated with infested slimy waters
They go home.

I remember the evening
that we sat clinging
to paper cups
of coffee gone cold

over secrets spilled and memories told
two bodies cursed
with hearts grown old

behind your eyes
I found new worlds
A winding road stretched out for miles
to a small cafe at the end of the isle

Sweet pastries filled the mouths
of those who sat beside us
and stayed for a while.

How the hours went by,
people just passing through
The descending sun ending
a forever with you.
