When Time Runs OutA Poem by Edmund S. ObumbaEver thought about death? Well,I do..though scary.
Time ticks.
Every tick a reminder of mortality, every second,a slow movement to death, a reality,we push as a lie. It is sad,we have so much to do, but procrastination and lethargy drains our little limited energy. The beauty in death, is the mystery of our time. we live blind only to get sight when death lurks by our doors, in its ugly cloak. We waste love on hate, ignore happiness in anger, push away opportunities in self pity.. while we wait on better times.. the clock keeps running. your life keeps on too.. When time runs out, some feel afraid.. afraid of oblivion. Some feel disappointed like they've lived an Illusion some feel honoured, to rid themselves of pain, a chance of an appointment, with their God. When my time runs out, do not shed a tear. Do not sing dirges, do not condole my family. Smile. For I lived better than some people's best. Some will never know they're gone, some will long for that day one thing stands stout. You were made to live every second. you were made to change something every fleeting tick. Live it,so when time runs out, standing somewhere in another form you'll smile while they mourn you, because you lived like a Boss © 2014 Edmund S. Obumba |
