Now Poem by Clyde King

Now is all you will ever have
And even that is not forever
And now it's the future
Say goodbye to the past
You shouldn't live there anyway
And now you're a second closer
To your demise
That's why now ceases
To exist for you and you
Now belong to eternity
Where there are no nows
No time to count them with
You are kaput done dead
This is not earth shattering truth
It's the way life is now
Thus make your nows count
For something don't waste them
They are finite
Because there will come a time
When you'll run out of them
Truth is we're always running
Out of something anyway
And nows are a limited resource
Get it?
No kidding
You will use them up
And that's all she wrote
Now have a nice day
