Time

If the Creator has no point of start
Nor a point of final termination,
Its focus is advances, but no depart,
With neither self-praise nor condemnation.

For humanity, whose short lives are bound,
It is important to record the past
So to understand how to forge around
The mortal limit that seems so vast.

Time is nothing but an old human plan
To give people means to order their days,
Define their history, and their life-span
While seeking to survive in any way.

            Let us play the match that is our one life
            In true good humor with no deadly strife.
