Time; the constant variable,
Time; the very inevitable,
Time; which stops for none,
Like a tide,
Time; no heed for us it glides,
Time; which I valued not,
Time; about which I forgot,
Times on which I was careless,
Time which I thought I had,
And the very thought made me,
Practically fearless.
Times at which I was worthless,
Heckles, reckless,
In my laziness,
In my craziness,
In a hazed state,
In utter distaste,
I didn't make haste,
And an excess of my time, hence,
I laid to waste.
In my final testament, however,
I must say to endeavour,
I killed time,
And it returned the favour!

Time I killed, time that killed me
In utter distaste I did'nt make haste, and an excess of my time, hence, I laid to waste.
