Don’t tell me you have time to kill
When you have time to murder
Murder the opportunity to learn
To love what’s alive around you
To experience life at its fullest
Please, don’t tell me you’re bored
When you’re missing the joy of being alive
The sounds, colors, smells and flavors
Humanity and its craziness that keeps running to nowhere
Laughing at the ugliness of what it has created
Don’t waste your time complaining that you have nothing better to do
Your life is short, as short as any
Late will be the day when you finally realize
That you have murdered your chance to learn
When you run out of time to love what surrounds you
Experience life at its fullest
The simplicity in the joy of being alive
Sounds, colors, smells and flavors
When you find yourself running to nowhere
Laughing also at the ugliness you have developed
Because you found nothing better to do
During your life that was as short as any other.

Very powerful point, and writing. I used to think that I can do anything I want later on, but I realized that the more I set things for a later date the less time I have to live; I began taking advantage of every moment I have with my friends, family, my partners, and I realized that life is beautiful. Life is wonderful, and anyone alive should be happy for simply being on this Earth. And I am lucky to be alive.
ReplyDeleteThank you for that poem, which has no fault, no grammatical error, just perfection in words.
