Demon Time


Perpetual moments

the key

to existence 

Memory

your biggest

foe 

 

Blocking

the path

to future promise

Lapsing

forgetfulness

grows

 

Time an illusion

a crutch

for the weak

To hobble

and stumble

in constant retreat 

 

This instant

recurring

 when chosen at will

Where Poets

and Prophets

— forever instill
