Time is a curse 

Either way, you put it

Put your time first 

Or else everything could quit

Whether you want more

Or maybe less

No matter what you want it for

It's the strangest thing we obsess  

Say I want more

What will I use it for

Perhaps I'm about to go

Or leave this earth in a whole

Needing more seems greedy

Like second helpings of a feeding

Say I want less

Am I sad or depressed

Maybe I'm not patient 

And very upset 

Now you can't change any of this

It's not built that way

People who love you need you to stay

The things you do 

Make away 

Try as you might

Again, you can't change the day

You can't change the night

Even when you put up a fight

So why try

Make use of your time

Don't stop and wonder why

Read any verse 

You'll know time is a curse


The author's comments:

The amount of times I think, "If only I had more/less time," is alarming. We need to quit obsessing over something we can't control.
