TIME

Time melt away like candle wax,
leaving me with no peace, no grace
to recover my lost discovery
burning like a long tread on fire
shedding its ashes of fulfillment
on every space covered

O! that time may be found guilty
arrested, convicted and sentenced
to mortal imprisonment
punished for the cost of its
sadistic freedom
to lazy men in bondage.
