Procrastination
Carlton Whyte 1981 (Jamaica)
Still shores of uncertain waters
Pondering on the sand
waiting for a better tomorrow
Dried up by the Sun.
About this poem
This poem is a reminder that while procrastination may feel harmless and restful, to say the least. Time is its enemy and nothing will change but not changing can eventually kill!
