Time is the Enemy

Time is the Enemy

By Nomar Knight

Time is the enemy

Don't you know

It brings false hope

Then strikes a blow

Waits until you're distracted

Then creeps up on you

Makes hair disappear

And pink spirits blue

Problems come and go

Worry lines add wrinkles

Gray becomes the new brown

Tired eyes don't twinkle

Babies become adults

Straight postures bend

Surroundings die

But they never end

Teeth fall out

Dentures save the day

Nature hits hard

So you can't stay

And if you think

At last you understand

Crap does happen

Depends become quicksand

Time is the enemy

I kid you not

We are limited

To what we've got

Make the most of it

Don't waste those seconds

Cherish everything

Because death beckons
