How Time Flies

Rushing and speeding,

Our lives seem fleeting.

Not caring who we run down

In the process of time cheating

 

Anxious to get

From one minute to another,

Not a moment to spare

Or to take time for one another

 

Hurrying and shoving

No time to waste.

Not even for kindness

Due to our relentless pace

 

Pushing and running

Towards the ends of our lives,

But complaining in turn

About how our time flies
