TIME IS A TYRANT

Time is tyrant in sense,
If you think it’s that bad,
If you build walls and dams,
And enclosures in head.

Time will seem to be such,
If your choice is unwise,
If you think fading looks
Is what matters in life.

Life’s bright colors do fade,
Suffice look in your glass,
No immunity’s gained,
No such favors from Time.

Time is tyrant or ... plus,
It depends on our stance,
Judge by deeds good and kind,
How you fared on life.

Time is tyrant in sense
When it makes us regret,
Brings sad memories back,
Seems no better for that.

I agree that Time's hard,
Nothing’s harder than that,
But don't ever succumb,
Keep it up or you’re dead!

About this poem:

Just a little encouragement for a change. Borrowed this title from the thread title of an Indian CS member, for which I am thankful to him.

I liked reading your poem, Time looking back teaches, us to choose doors to open in future adventures,

So agree keep it up or your dead

Yes Marika, I agree with niah, it can just be a state of the mind, like happiness or feeling young. What counts is the biological age not the chronological age, I'm speaking about women's age! Nice write, thanks.

Hi, marikia,
Time is tyrant or ... plus... Thanks for painting the two faces of time. Oh, were time to replace external beauty with wisdom, we might all be able to live with that!
