Time
Yeshiembet/Yeshi Gemaneh 1940 (Harar)
Time, Time, Time and Time
Time what do they call you?
Time, are you enemy or friend
To man kind
Time you changing rapidly
You lifting one and bouncing the other
One get convicted and one get prized
You running fast
Who would be able to catch you?
Today you have beautiful name
Tomorrow you trade it
You unpredictable and untouchable
Your joy never last long
You are a decisive factor for everything
Slow down let everyone know you better
A decisive workshop of the world.
At time you made them lough
And at time you made them cry
Wishing to have a lesson of time keeping
Be fair to all in time keeping
At the end you put all in vain
About this poem
I might not be the right person to describe or define time, but from my personal view point and observation time is a decisive factor of life. My expression is based on my walk of life.
