Time


Time is endless 

It’s a river that continues forever 

It is slow

But fast enough to pass you when your not looking

It starts with the seconds 

Then the minute 

Then the hours 

Then goes to the days

Then the months then the seasons

This is all happening at the same time

It is like a sideways eight

No start no end

Just cycling through 

Not caring what happens 

Just continues to go

A year seems so long to us 

Until we retrace the sideways eight 

Seeing everything that has happened in our lives 

Seeing how quickly a second, a minute, an hour, a day, a week, a month, a year, 

It seems so fast when you remember 

Seems so slow when you have nothing to do 

But even those seconds, minutes, and hours seem so quick

They can contain the actions we took in the past

It contains our memories 

Our thoughts 

Our feelings 

Our love 

No matter how short a second, a minute, an hour is we should never waste them

  • Fight

    Our fathers

    Mothers 

    Daughters

    Sons

    Have fought 

    When there is no time to sit

    When there’s no more patience 

    For our world 

    We stand 

    And fight

    And win

  • Taoism

    Taoism 

    Where one seeks enlightenment by shutting off their emotions 

    But how will that lead to enlightenment 

  • words

    Words 

    They hold power

    Like a gun 

    But it’s our voices that give them power

    Words are an unloaded gun

    And our voices are the bullets
