Time

This time that man invented,
I really do resent it,
For when I am waiting for it to pass,
The longer it seems to last.
If I only had to worry about the present moment,
Then I wouldn't feel sorry, or grief, or judgement,

I wouldn't be counting down the days until my grandmother died,
Or the next time someone betrayed me or lied,
Or if the bills will get paid when the time gets near,
Or if my family will remember my birthday this year.

Sometimes I wish I could exclude time from my life,
Throw out all the clocks and with them, all the strife.
Forever is a nice word, as time doesn't give it limits,
Let's stay in this moment forever,
Instead of counting the minutes.
