In the bustling ado of my life, chaos reigns
The ambling morn picks up pace, it trots by,
Often meshing into a rushed afternoon.
That too brings no respite, no succor; it spills
Forth into the twilight of the dusky evening
And then night descends, veiling my efforts.
Try as I do, I’m unable to lengthen the day
I’m unable to hold onto some more time
To get the things done that need to be done.
Alas! In this constant flux, the hubbub that
I call my life; my life itself is not mine to live.
It is passing to the beat of frenzy and bedlam.
