Time

Stealthily, the time is sneaking

Performing its duty

On the art of killing

Murdering beauty

 

Time is a beast

Damaging the most divine sculpture

Decaying the beauty

Of a spoiled figure

 

Time is not our friend

For devouring one’s youth

And fading our spirits

While stealing away our soul

 

Like a mere candle

The longer you shine, the sooner you dim

The best thinker will get wrinkles

Soon enough, their ideas are killed

 

We fear the inevitable

For we must abide

In the rule of time

Once it’s corrupted our age
