A common phrase in sales circles is

"Time is of the essence"

In other words,
get that contract signed,
yesterday!!!

But what about humanity's
time frame
for getting it right?

To learn respect
for all living beings
and offer dignity
globally?

Time is of the essence.

I hope
we are not
out of it.

The whiners and naysayers might say we are,
but I think we, globally, still have a chance.

But only if we get off our duffs.

I love it when important issues are spoken in poetic terms. Wonderful job.

You have a real knack for zooming in on important issues, and always you address them in a fine poetic spotlight.

Gotta wonder if time is still on our side, well at my age...

oh nevermind.

Great poem, Kacy~

In a sense I think we are given as much time as we need. We might just not like what happens to us and the world if we take too long. Thanks for making us think!

You seem to know the importance of time and you use it wisely by writing down your thoughts for our enjoyment. Love, Joyce

Maybe someday we will learn to apply time to the things that are important. Another lovely observation from you.

My thoughts too, Kacy. I can barely watch or listen to the news since it offers so little respect, dignity and solutions to those who need it.
