Time

Her head hangs like an anxious child

Staring intently at the toy on the floor

She wants something to play with

She wants something to make hers

She wants to own a part of the world

But she can’t

 

So it is the way of the unconscious

Needlessly begging for something

Anxiously hoping for something

Aimlessly striving for a purpose

She wants to own a part of the world

But she can’t

 

She can find her purpose

She can get what she wants

But for how long? Is that all there is?

A time with which we wait and toil

And debate and long for

Time is nothing, Time is all

Which one is it?
