Analysis of Now Is Always Here



There is no time to ponder. There is no time to fear.
There is no time to squander. Now is always here.
There is no time to pilfer. There is no time to loot.
There is no time to defer. Now is absolute.
There is no time to dispatch. There is no time to waste.
There is no time to rematch. Now is even paced.
There is no time to babble. There is no time to yak.
There is no time to prattle. Now is keeping track.
There is no time to disgrace. There is no time to mock.
There is no time to replace. Now is on the clock.
There is no time to madden. There is no time to rile.
There is no time to sadden. Now is not on trial.
There is no time to payback. There is no time to hate.
There is no time to ransack. Now is up to date.
There is no time to worry. There is no time to fret.
There is no time to scurry. Now is what you get.
There is no time to reckon. There is no time to quiz.
There is no time to beckon. Now is all there is.
