WASTING TIME

WASTING TIME?

WHERE WILL I BE ONE YEAR FROM TODAY?
FIVE YEARS FROM TODAY?
TEN YEARS FROM TODAY?
IT'S HARD TO SAY.
I HAVE NO REAL DIRECTION,
NO SET DESTINATION.
I'M GOING THROUGH LIFE DAY TO DAY,
FROM PLACE TO PLACE,
JUST WASTING TIME.
IN A SENSE THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ALL DOING,
ISN'T IT?
JUST WASTING TIME.
I MEAN WE ALL HAVE THE SAME DESTINATION IN A WAY.
NO MATTER WHAT ANY OF US DO THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE THE SAME OUTCOME.
WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!
SO AREN'T WE ALL JUST WASTING TIME?
IF SO THEN WHAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE IMPORTANT?
HOW WE WASTE OUR TIME,
WHO WE WASTE OUR TIME WITH,
OR WHERE WE WASTE IT.
I'LL SAY ALL OF THE ABOVE.
ME I'M GOING TO WASTE MY TIME WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
BETTER THINK ABOUT IT.
THE CLOCKS TICKING!
