Deadline

Deadline

A Poem by James Cooper T.
"

This is a poem about deadlines

"
I have a date
August 12th
I and she will eat
and in the park we will meet,
And on that day I get
the last chance
of before everything
is late

What am I late for?
School that will lead to future.
It's always these days
when a man regrets
time wasting
and not managing

Instead of crying
what should you do?
Instead of worrying
when should you go?
Instead of self beating
shouldn't you now know?
That every minute is wasting
as you type this poem.

You made a list
To every homework.
what now?
You think and think
to what would lurk,
so what now?
You talked to people
asked guide and sort,
SO WHAT NOW?

The deadline is death
yet there are agreement.
The deadline should be death
yet here you are screaming.
The deadline can be death
if you don't care what everything meant.
So should deadline be death,
to make excuses not to implement.

They say school is important,
they say education is the key to success.
That I do not disagree.
I was just busy,
procrastinating to avoid responsibility.
Because I'm poor and I lack focus.
That hinders me because this mind,
films and draws bad scenarios.

Is this a poem?
Should this be a song?
Is the deadline long?
No
I am sorry,
I cannot keep up.
Deadline I just passed by,
because I focus not.
