Cheated By Time Poem by Francis Duggan

Are you one of those who feels cheated by time
That the clock on you has ticked on too fast since your physical prime
There are many who feel like you that time does go too fast
Tomorrow today it will be of the past
You are not as strong or as fit as you were a few decades ago
Time was your friend then today it is your foe
Us humans like the food we eat on us a use by date
Time for anyone has not been known to wait
Three score and ten years the average human lifetime span
A few years more for a woman than it is for a man
Death is for all living creatures from the great to the small
There is a last day and last night for us all
And are you one of those who feels cheated by time
That the clock on you has ticked on too fast since your physical prime?
