Some things in life
just aren't worth it
entangling, enstrangling... movements
decisions, now, this has to be.
     Why?
Nobody knows, it just has to
be, get it done, they're waiting
we're waiting, waiting on...
     You.
Hurry, no time to waste, time is
money... time, a glistening drop of time
spilling out of the hand of life with a number printed on it
that number is yours, dont lose it, once it splashes on the
floor, it's done, wasted, useless, like you if you dont
     Come through.
So you had better catch it before it's gone, cause
my people are on your drop, riding it down, impatiently waiting,
the smell of failure being inhaled by all of us... as you
pull your hair out racing to beat the impossible opponent...
     Time.

Inspired by life in the workplace


Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.

Hey you!  Glad I happened upon this tonight.  Very nicely done.  Good to see you here.  Hope all is well for you, my friend.  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
