A Bit of Time

By Jane Tawel

January 21, 2020

∞

With a bit of time

Thrown into the mix,

I honestly feel,

That I could nix,

The badness in me.

Would you not agree?

∞

But the harder I work,

The more that I shirk,

And don’t annihilate,

All my lies and my hate.

So what would more time do?

If I’m just passing through?

∞

But if I were loyal

To what I say I believe,

Then Time is a construct

Of He who deceives.

Should I not be joyful,

In harsh weeding out,

Of all that my lust

Says this life is about?

∞

If Time also dies,

When we go to our rest,

Then Eternity’s promised

To those who are blessed
