Time

What is Time?
It could be a tyrant; It could be a friend.
Nevertheless, it is unstoppable, immortal, unpredictable.
We could only look at it knowing
that Time will rend.

Though many have tried,
none will prevail
to conquer Time
for to do so
they only continue to stale.

Thus, we could only accept it
like how the elderly accept their Fate.
We could only submit ourselves
hoping it would be merciful
to end us at a better state.

Time is unavoidable.
It is omniscient.
It marks us by watches and clocks
like how ranchers brand their livestock.
If we try to rebel, it will force us to repent.

However, Time is not at all an enemy.
It could provide us bliss.
It will build us excitement for a holiday or a festival.
It will bring gifts of memories
that we will not miss.

What is Time?
That is for you to decide.
There are those who tried
to befriend it or to oppose it.
But remember… Time always preside.
