CHANGE

CHANGE

Unravelled and marvel the most is what I will become the next seconds,

            The wheel of life is ever-rolling

Lubricated by hopes, fears and wishes we harbour living,

Things must happen, nature reckons in seconds.

Life divided in stages, you need to manage your ages

            What comes handy this tick might not the next tock,

Reading the world for twenty-four years like pages,

            Only death refuses to neither change nor adhere to the rule of clock.

What we become the next seconds, could turn our world for good

            Or put up the greatest nightmare the ghosts never see,

Thus, timely mould your mood,

            To soothe any weather your temperaments see.

 For, change is what we cannot change

            Because the changes it has on us, we failed to change.
