Time Will Tell Poem by Shueyb Boyer

Time Will Tell



He took his time
No watch on, so he couldn’t tell time
It was 10 minutes to half past hate
If only he had waited 10 more minutes on time
He wouldn’t have lost his mind…..

He got disrespected by a guy in the club so he lost his temper
He was going to retaliate right there and then but the devil took over
He got reminded of the gun in his car, so he smiled and walked away, like a drunk, but he was sober

He took his time
No watch on so he couldn’t tell time
It was10 minutes past half past hate
If only he had a watch he would have noticed it was past hate
20 more minutes and it would be love on the clock not hate

Now he is standing at his car with the gun cocked, ready to shoot
The devils voice is the only voice he hears even though his girl begs him not to shoot
When the guy came out the club he snuck up behind him and blew his brains on to the stoop

He took his time
No watch on so he couldn’t tell time
It was 10 minutes to love on the clock
If only he had waited 10 more minutes on time
He wouldn’t have lost his mind
From shooting his brother who he couldn’t recognize, because the devil blinded his sight and controlled his mind
