Wasting Time

We wrote the book on wasting time

He laughed at jokes that made no one else smile

The time we spent on kicking stones

Could've been those that changed the world

 

But luck wasn't on our side

In fact, it plotted our downfall

Whispering plans of attack

The warrior cry, it cried oh so loud

 

Now the moon shines down on your pale face

Cold and motionless

Eyes open wide in shock

Bucket kicking was never a favorite game of ours
