You say now is the time
to start planning for the future,
to leave discontent behind
and move forward.
That there is no use in harkening
on past mistakes and
misguided deeds.
You say that there is no better time to act than now,
that now is the time
to forge a new path,
to build new alliances
and to seek better horizons.
I say yes, I agree!
Since time immemorial
“Now” has always been the designated time
to do all that you said.
That people have always waited for that special “Now”
to make meaningful changes.
That people have always been waiting
for that elusive moment in time they call “Now”.
Which makes me wonder,
which makes me ask, in fact
how long is Now?
