Why Do We Waste So Much Time In Life

Seconds

Minutes

Hours

Days

Months

And more years to come

Different faces

And newer generations

Are still in a hurry to fulfill their fixation

With wasting time

The trade off to get ahead

In our prime is only a fascist illusion

Displayed as a meaningful forgone conclusion

Of sorts

Only to have everyone

In a rush to get too nowhere

In particular

Yet we love to stop and stare

At the constant moving hands

On the clock

Ticktock Ticktock

As we witness and watch

Our intangible hard fought concern

With personal due diligence

In an expedient fashion

Underlies mainly

Why We Waste So Much Time In Life

well done, my friend. its well written, wonderfully crafted, and worded beautifully. I dont know how you do it, but your poetry gets better and better with each new one.

Time...the crux of all evil in some aspects. When we want more, we don't have enough, and when we have too much, we can go crazy trying to pass it by. I found many instances in this where I was able to relate. People are always telling me to step out of my head for a moment and just enjoy the world around me...don't waste so much time "thinking", just enjoy the world.

This is great, I like that you took the time to really think about the things we do every single day. You came up with a great list, and it made for a great piece. Bravo.

Nicely developed thought. Time is relative. Now if someone is a couch potato - total waste of time. But the body, and the mind need down time to relax, recharge, get grounded again in self and spirit before facing life's challenges again.

I really love the originality of this concept of this poem, Bpoet. Another wonderful, well-crafted poem.
Amazing choice of words falling into
every line used with profound imagery and meter!
Brilliantly penned, Bpoet, thanks for sharing! :)

I've thought about this so much. I often wonder if I've wasted years of my life for nothing. I see others in the same boat. Time moves by too quickly. Wonderful thoughts.
