The Times

 

Of no significance
A few lines…. soon forgotten
Echoing out into nowhere
Any impact… now diminishing
Too many words
Too few ears to actually appreciate
Paying attention is a thing of the past in the so called technological age

However…
It’s not so important
Not so relevant
Just a sideshow
A period of distraction
Only temporary- not a long term arrangement
A subscription that’s no longer so popular

Everything ends
It must be discarded
Moved on in the wake
Cataloged as nearly, maybe, or perhaps one day…
Even legacy ends eventually
To be …
But a vapour rushing
Evaporated up into the happy ever after

So …

Lift that pen
Change the narrative
Inspire the masses
Reach beyond the page, the indifference
Make your mark
Let now be your finest moment

Let it shine
If only for a short while

The reality of existence is playing with every mind.
Time is so unkind.
