So to thirty first December and
the last day of the year
Twenty two has been and gone
as twenty three appears
There have been many moments
with emotions running rife
as is the wont of passing time
this c'est la vie, this life
But there are still remaining hours
to finish it for good
so on this New Years' Eve we will
enjoy it as we should

Today's overmorrow Tuesday will be
and the week will just have begun
then two overmorrows thereafter we'll see
a week that is almost done
But three overmorrows, it's not long to wait
if a week you need to pass by
so take that to heart and you will find
that time will literally fly

The last of the month
where has February gone?
already it’s March
But no complaints here
for summer’s ever closer
Warmer daytime soon
Coupled with new growth
Springtime around the corner
with grass now greener

Wisdom
Is Knowledge
Appropriately
Applied
To The Correct
Conditions
Are We Wise?
I Wonder,
But Have
My Doubts
It Seems
That Humanity
Is Quite Susceptible
To Herd Mentality
Leaving The Thinking
And Logical Reasoning
To Others And Then
Waiting For Them
To Explain What To Do
We All Know
Time Flies
And That Life
Is Short
But That Doesn’t
Seem To Stop Us
From Putting
Things Off
To Another Time,
‘Til Someday
We Believe
Since We Woke Up
This Morning
We Will Tomorrow
No Need To Worry
Or Rush Things
All In Due Time,
Someday!
There Is No Someday!
We Only Have Now!
Someday Is The Seductive
Delusion Of Fools
Who Won’t Ever
Turn Their Dreams
Into Reality

Sleep Eats My Hours
Like A Starving,
Desert Demon,
It Swiftly Steals
And Devours
My Most Precious
Moments In Seconds
I Awaken Each Morning
To Find Years And Years
Have Slowly
Slipped Away
In A Silent,
Unconscious
And Addictive State
Of Amnesia

So the sun sets on the month of May
and June is almost here
already we have seen pass by
not far off half a year
Unsure where that time has gone
it’s happened quite so fast
and life has changed dramatically
and looks quite set to last

Time
Runs Slowly
‘Til The Workweek’s Done
But Like A Shooting Star
Once You’re Having Fun
The Seconds
Tick By,
One By One
Measured All The Same
So Why Does Work Time
Feel So Slow
Yet Fly On By
When You’re
Having Fun
I’d Really
Like To Know
Wouldn’t You?

Once more, the roar of applause thaws his heart and makes him wish he didn’t have to depart this stage. Where had the years gone? He wonders. How did each day, so long, become faint flashes of memory? An ambling trajectory of wasteful debauchery, his life has passed him by like a distant plane in the sky. And now, as he clocks out of consciousness and stares across an endless necropolis, the clapping masses have gone silent. His heart is no longer raging and defiant. Overhead, the black curtain is falling and the blissful escape of the void is calling.

The place falls
The place calls
The place reminiscing
The ones with horns
The ones with holes
In the journey
Of the time.
The place sucks
The place chucks
The place twinning
With the ray of hopes
In the lost memories
Of the unheard notes.
