A Golden conversation

is gold really precious ?
Well...
Some consider time to be golden
See how
Days move fast
Sense of delayed being carried astray
Never are we betrayed, by the clock
A Tick a tock
Look at the sand clock
Tiny golden grains of rocks
Use to count time
Doesn’t that.....
Makes time golden
But wait a second
A minute equals an eternity
Betrayed by urgency.
Slow your roll and pay the toll
Said the universe
Don’t miss a verse
Skip a beat
Or
Take an enormous leap
For like gold
So is time
Precious
Irreplaceable
Making man fight for their place
In history
Make a mark
So the students
Can read his story
But hey listen
Always in line saids Father Time
From the beginning and end
Since way back when
And even from here and then
For Time is the only things that’s last
Ever after the times of sands have past

“Well, hmmm” the student ponders and wonders and he says “Why do we value gold even though we know it’s really not as infinite as time ?”
Is it really running out
Or is it your perception
But let me change your coneception
Gold is but the moment
Not a second left for reflection
Or atonement
Do you want to know what is reflection honestly
It’s you wasting seconds looking
Back at a section
Slowly trying to remember
You attach your attention
To a illusion
To avoid your current tension
Why not just avoid the retention
Live in the now
And bow to life’s newest golden invention

The student replies
Okay I get it,
