Halt! Stop right there! Put your hands up!

a lifetime is not enough for me, i'm greedy!

Halt! Stop right there! Put your hands up!

Halt! Stop right there!

Put your hands up

where I can see them.

One cannot imagine

the shortcomings of life

bestowed upon thee.

Well I do!

Damn Mortality!

I'm not ready!

I have books to read, 

things to be done,

family generations to see.

I'm not ready!

Go away will you, Time!

To have me halt

in such a brief manner.

I have not worked hard 

all my life

to have it frittered away

by you, Time.

My very existence

frittered away

like the flutter

of some butterfly

in a fleeting moment.

Begone with you!

Time! Damn You!

Where is the Time Keeper?

How dare you come

to taketh away,

a life so early.

Be gone with you, Time!

Be gone!

Damn you and mortality!

ah and if we tilt our head back and watch the stars we will realise the insignificance of it all - so then why not live right here, in the now, not fetter away our lives on useless this or that ... to live right here and now is the best we can do, not live for the future, not live for the past, just embrace the plentitude in front of us ... and time ... well my dad always taught me it doesn't exist, I am going to go with that theory ..
