Time


It is the hourglass of Life. You can't kill it. You can't slow it down. We think to be invincible, indestructible, immortal. But no one wins when it comes to beating Time. Every second that passes Another grain from that hourglass falls. We are all running out of Time. No matter who you are. No matter how much money you have. You can't buy more Time. It is so precious, But hardly anyone takes it for granted. We don't realize what we have until it is gone. Until we are old and withering away, Regretting all the Time we have wasted. The Time we will never get back. Time. It will never stop. It will never end.
