TIME DEPRIVED
by

If he only had one minute to ask what he could
Things would have been different, maybe even should
But time has moved on leaving shadows of life
No where left to linger all emotions left in strife
If the driver would have waited or peered to the right
The car would have wavered and spared him his life
Time was not given to minor details like so
Now the driver was gone he must reap what he sowed
If the gentleman of stock and business affairs
Had decided to sell in spite of the stares
His wealth would have remained and love not lost
His fortune was gone losing all at what cost
Sin city is the dwelling for all who tend to wage
Their life earnings on monetary in the rear of a cage
If they waited for a breath to pull the handle once more
They might’ve won the condo or better yet money galore
Time is the notion that screams out to the land
If not tended to standards could get out of hand
Who could have imagined that such errors could occur
Where time was of the essence which none could procure
The water flows smoothly as time passes on
Filling lakes and streams that will soon be gone
A sequence of events is a virtue untold
No matter what you conjure lies a new road
If he only had one minute to ask what he could
Things would have been different, maybe even should
Time has transcended all accept their fate
For one should not hurry if they’re already late
